And they were able to like drive together and have no issues whatsoever.

And so that in itself, I feel like was a miracle, you know, having them just like being like so softened their heart enough to like,

come together and be like, we will get through this together.

And I just remember that night, like after my stroke happened and like I was there and my dad and my stepdad got there and I just, all I wanted, you know, was water.

I wanted water so bad.

And I was trying to say like water, like,

Cause I couldn't say like, I want water.

I didn't know how to speak senses.

So I had to say water.

I had to try to say water.

Like there's like videos of me cause a nurse told my mom to document everything from now and everything from now until, you know, a couple of years go by because so I could look back and see my progress.

and see how far I've come because obviously I'm going to have to go through rehab.

Yes.

I had to relearn how to talk, eat, swallow, walk.

I couldn't even walk.

like to the point where I was able to be like on my own, like don't need nobody in like two years and

it took me like having to do rehab for like those two years, like nonstop because I did rehab in the hospital, like inpatient rehab for like three, like three times.

So occupational speech and, uh, physical, um, therapy, all three, um, each one

one hour a day.

And so that would be three hours each day.
