No, that's a great point.

And yeah, of course, you know, little things in life that shouldn't, you know, still kind of get to you sometimes.

But I think for anyone, grenade aside, I think it's extremely important to always work on and be able to refocus on that perspective.

Yeah.

The things that really matter.

Yeah.

And, you know, just from the...

the psoasism side of things to understand what's in your control and out of your control.

That's been extremely helpful for me because throughout my recovery, you know, I went from being in the best shape of my life, carrying a machine gun in Afghanistan, you know, 18 minute, three miles and just always having a plan as a Marine, whether that is, you know,

what today holds or what this specific patrol holds.

We knew what routes we were taking.

We knew our points that we needed to hit and what village we were going to and what the mission was.

But when I woke up,

it was complete opposite.

You know, at first I didn't know if I could make it to that next breath.

And I remember just laying there on my side and, you know, the, all the beeping machines are so annoying.

Yeah.

It's, it gets kind of, you know, starts to wear on you almost.

And,

You know, in the beginning when my pain spiked or I was having difficulty with whatever it was, the machines will start going off and then you got to get yourself back under control and you got to calm your heart rate.
