And I know I'm I know that as I'm saying it. And I reflect back on it sometimes at night and I'm like, dude, that was a good talk we had. That was a good talk. It's a lonely business, recovery, right? When you're in a bed alone, you're the only one recovering no matter how many doctors you got, how many people love you, giving you tea, whatever the heck it is.

All that's amazing, but you're the only one that can make you get better. And that's it, man. And me and my leg were partners of crime at the time. And yeah, I'm talking to curtains. I'm talking to all sorts of things. It's quite a lonely space. But it was a thing that helped me reprogram the neural pathways and how I received pain.

And it took about 28 days, took about a month of me yelling at my leg as I'm doing physical therapy. I'm doing it every day. I did it as soon as I got home. I was in two ICUs for six days apiece. As soon as I got home, because I was breaking out of them every day, get me home, get me home so I can sleep. And as soon as I got home, I'm doing physical therapy. You know how painful it is?

I don't care. So I got on it real quick. And so after doing that, having this agreement with my leg, all the other things, like my ribs and all that stuff kind of fell into place immediately. Much better than I anticipated. My lungs were like plastic suitcases for all the goop and things to kind of come out of it, blood and all this, like, stuff. It's so weird. And it was quite a hot mess.

But as the leg, that was really quite the issue because it was the physical therapy part of it. And that's where I focused all my energy. And then the rest of the body just kind of fell into place. It's like I focused on one bad dog that was pooping on my pillow or something, right? I'll just focus on the leg. And then it just, I just, pain became just something that I can manage.

Because I know my body sends signals to my brain, but it doesn't mean I have to receive it the same way. What's your advice to somebody who's currently dealing with pain? You know, I'm not going to say you have to yell at the thing. I think getting an understanding of it, I think there are other ways.

You know, I think modern medicine is fantastic for the short term, but for long term and chronic pain, I think there's got to be other ways. I deal with it all the time, but I certainly don't take pills. I do injections of peptides, amino acids, vitamins, maybe some natural anti-inflammatories, things like that. I think everybody's got to deal with inflammation.
