Over the past few months, we've gained a rare glimpse into the world of Jake Handel. A man who, by all accounts, shouldn't be here. A true miracle. And yet, through his raw honesty and relentless determination, Jake isn't just surviving. He's reaching people. People battling addiction, people living with injuries and limitations, people working in the medical field.

Und Menschen, die es nicht verbunden haben, die nur wissen wollen, was es bedeutet, fĂŒr ihr Leben zu kĂ€mpfen. Jake hat uns alle mit seiner Geschichte bewegt. Und als wir diese Serie begonnen haben, hatten Jake und ich einen Plan, eine Idee, was jeder Episode enthalten wĂŒrde.

Aber wenn du seit Beginn gehört hast, hast du wahrscheinlich bemerkt, dass diese Geschichte in der realen Zeit weiterentwickelt hat, einige letzte-minĂŒtige VerĂ€nderungen und einige unplanierte AbbrĂŒche benötigt. Wir haben das nicht unbedingt erwartet, aber vielleicht sollten wir es gewesen sein. Weil das ist Jakes Leben.

Er arbeitet jeden Tag, um voranzugehen, aber er weiĂ nie wirklich, was nĂ€chstes kommt. Er adaptiert sich, er löst es heraus. Und ich bin sicher, wir alle fragen uns, wie das Leben fĂŒr Jake heute ist. Wie navigiert er die RĂŒckkehr, die Therapie und das Gewicht von allem, was er entdeckt hat?

Before recording for this episode, Jake and I stopped at a Starbucks and Jake opted for an iced drink and no straw. I'd seen him use straws previously, so I inquired, why no straw today? And he said, straw or no straw, both have challenges. If his arm jerks mid-sip, a straw might jab him in the eye. No straw, same movement, different consequence. Coffee, all over the table, the floor, or him.

He opted for the risk of a spell over the risk of an eye jab that day.

Vor Jake's Diagnosis, being a head chef was a huge part of his identity. He went to culinary school, he loved being in the kitchen, and aside from the drug deals, that was his career. So I couldn't help but wonder, is cooking still a part of Jake's life today? Maybe even a source of comfort or escape?

Jake hat ein starkes UnterstĂŒtzungssystem. Freunde und Familie, die reinigen, die helfen, wenn sie es können. Aber fĂŒr die meiste Zeit ist er auf seinem eigenen Weg. Leben unabhĂ€ngig, herausfinden es Tag fĂŒr Tag.

When I first met Jake, therapy consumed most of his week. More than 10 sessions, each running an hour to an hour and a half. Speech therapy, physical therapy, conditioning, you name it. But these days, he's graduated from speech therapy and he's now down to just three therapy sessions a week. Two for physical therapy and one for occupational therapy.
