A lot of people go on it, don't come off it.
So they were hoping I wouldn't have to do that.
I did have to do that.
So June 6th last year, although I don't remember it, it was quite eventful.
Well, May 28th last year, 2025, I went to the hospital.
I actually went down on the day before also.
May 27th, my back was hurting.
Just a back pain.
I thought it was a back spasm.
That was it.
And on May 27th, I tested.
Everything was normal.
I did all the vitals.
And I told my wife, see, I told you I was just a back spasm.
And the doctor gave me medicine for a back spasm.
And I went back to the hotel.
We were at the Bitcoin conference.
And it got worse.
And the medicine did not work at all, which has never happened.
