that was quite emotional like i was going through a real hard part of my life and people were still going out of their way to see me and i thought yeah yeah how hard was it mentally for you going through what you're going through oh it was um

It's, it's still hard now.

It's, um, yeah, but yeah, it's also, oh, I don't know how I have to look at it because at the time, the hospital, when you, especially when you're in the, like, a dining room and you're full of patients, I was quite like, like, um, it just felt like the hemisphere felt like it was death.

Like, you know, it just...

Like, for example, people realise, all sorts of realising, like, their life's changed.

Like, they don't want to do what they wanted to do and stuff.

And I was like, you know, like, my life's changing too, but I'm not sitting there complaining about rugby all day long.

I'm moving on with life.

So...

Yeah, I think even though rugby was a massive depression time for me, like realizing that I'm not going to play it anymore, I wasn't letting it hold me down.

I did not want to be the guy.

I always, I've always in every situation, um, to defy the odds, like making his emojis when a little school gore, like being a stag at like a little, little, uh, little player and young and stuff.

I've always tried to defy the odds.

And I think with rugby, I think with this injury, I think people that are close to me are probably going to expect that, like, my rugby is my life.

Like, what's he going to do now?

And I am not going to let this injury define me.

I'm going to keep pushing on.

Now, so I'm getting my, my movement back gradually.

Yeah.

Um, so my movements all back in my body, but it's like the strength of all my body, all my muscles need to get.
