I was still investing.

I was still kind of worried about venture capital and making money.

And then after that, what happened was I literally couldn't do anything in the business world for nine months.

And every time I would like jump back in, I'm like, okay, I'm going to go out and help start another video game company.

Once I'd recovered, I would end up back in the hospital and it would happen again and again.

But when I did have enough energy to go and write for a couple of hours, I would take a Uber to Starbucks.

Oh, wow.

And it gave me energy.

From the hospital?

Not from the hospital, but when I was recovering.

No, not from the hospital.

They wouldn't let me go.

Yeah, they'd let you do that?

No, no, I was in the ICU and it was when I got home.

And I'm talking about months where I was still recovering.

You know, modern medicine is great at very specific things, but they're not always great at predicting side effects.

And so it took a long, a way longer recovery than they had told me.

But during that time, I found that I was being steered and motivated to do this other part of my story.
