I'm like, just be quiet so I can just keep doing the treatment. Because if you start pissing off people, they're going to send me back. If they send me back, then you have nobody to irritate except for that commander and first sergeant. And you're not their problem anymore. So she's like, okay, okay, okay. So she was already livid. I mean, dude, she had to help me shower.

Like there were times where my leg would just go numb. Like just, like not numb, like not where I couldn't feel them, but like they were just asleep. And if I stepped, it hurt. It felt like knives were in my legs, only in my legs, never my arms, never my upper body, always my legs. The only answer I got was nerve damage. And that it can take up to three to four years for nerves to heal themselves.

They're kind of like misfiring is what I was told. And that's what's happening. They're misfiring with my brain. And that's the feeling that I'm getting. Some BS answer. Not even a true medical answer. Sounds like talking about a car engine. Like, tell me what's wrong. But she never let me fail, man. So six months. Go to graduation. She pins my badge on me.

I'm just so grateful that she took the time to do all this.

Because she should have been wearing a badge. By that point, she knew the law. She knew the law better than I did. Because she had to read the chapters first. and pick out what she believed to be important things. And while they were teaching, I would highlight things that they would be like, okay, you need to label the Sean Ryan show. Wink, wink, that might be a test question.

But she would go through all the highlights and make the index cards for me, and I would make them too. And without that, man, without her push, right? Hey, man, don't give up. Don't give up. You're not broken. Because I could have laid around and made excuses. Oh, the Army said I was zipped up, right? Yeah. Jacked up, you know? Because I wouldn't get any disability at the time. Nothing.

Not a thing. No one could. Nothing. No medical, no nothing. So... So she pins my badge on me, and I get assigned to Fayetteville's broken up into three districts, Camelton, Central, Cross Creek. It's a city of like 300-some thousand people, plus all the craziness on Bragg, right? A lot of people don't understand, man.
