Nobody ever got anything. I had a doctor, a neurologist, told me that she thought I had STDs. What? Exactly. I got off the phone with my wife. I'm like, what?

I did speech, memory, and physical therapy every day for two years, well, a year and a half. And I got transferred to the Warrior Transition Battalion because I had so many doctor's appointments.

I'm sure that that doctor, one, that did the brain scans, there's no way you didn't find that my brain wasn't swelling. Had a nod out to here and I was throwing up with nosebleeds.

But to this day, I never got answers of what happened to me. I have a medical file that's this thick. I'm 100 total and permanent. But I never got answers. I could never get answers, ever. So for a year and a half, I did speech, memory, and physical therapy with no answers to what was wrong. But whatever they were doing was working. So after a year and a half, I felt normal.

I had all these like shock therapies on my brain. I had these needles put all over. Had all these things done, but nobody ever told me why. Why I'm doing this.

Oh, you know, you have a great care team.

If the army fucked up, that's fine. I'm not going to blame the army. But nobody ever told me what was wrong. So I got released from the pipeline. I had this little ceremony, whatever. They're like, oh, this is successful.
