There would be a pill. There would be some kind of salve or poultice. Something would be figured it out. Yeah. Yeah, if it was a men's problem, we'd have this solved already. So it was really hard to, you know, again, just support Trish as she went through it just to figure it out.

Yeah, I mean, it's really, well, and a lot of it's hidden from us, right? So, you know, Trish is a strong mother. She's doing things all the time. She's super energetic. And so a lot of it's hidden.
