Yeah. Yeah. So anytime you get closer to the neck and heart, um, it's a lower survival rate. And then, um, even in, even modern wars and, and in like the Ukraine, they have a lot more amputees because they, you know, they're at war, um, In their country, they have hospitals and ambulances that can drive to and from there.

They still have an issue with surviving high blasts and gunshots and stuff like that. But yeah, so I was above the elbow, and I think that's why I became such a big prosthetic advocate because a lot of people are below the elbow. There's hundreds below the elbow. And a lot of them will use their elbow to do things. So you'll see them – like a lot of people bring up Leroy Petrie.

He's missing his arm. He's missing his hand. And so they won't rely on their prosthetic so much because they'll use their elbow to do things. And so because I have such a high amputation, it's so – I have a useless limb because it's so short and it's so painful to do things with. So without a prosthetic, I'm kind of like – Um, very disabled.

Um, I do, I, I, I don't, it's hard to tell if I've trained or not. Cause since I was born with two arms, I do think about, I, this arm has so many injuries. I have a nerve injury on this side and I broke my wrist and I'm missing the outside two ligaments.

So I do force myself to, cause a lot of people, uh, specific questions that I'll get is like why I do things a certain way with weightlifting and shooting and It's because I was like They think I'm like, why don't I just overuse this or more but I have to explain like you feel bad like explain all your injuries and I'm like Actually, I'm missing out these two outside ligaments.

So stabilizing things like shooting is it's not something that I can do it's not I can't out train that I'm just missing the ligaments and So this I forced myself to use In part because the Marine Corps spent a lot of money on my recovery so one like the arms that the other arm that I brought and has this thing called targeted muscle renovation.

And so they grafted my ulnar and medial nerves, which are the nerves that control your hand open and close to my bicep and tricep heads. So with that hand, I think hand open and close to open and close it. And it does it? Yeah, so that made it so – Fucking wild to me.

I thought it was more widely – I thought that surgery was more widely done until I got more into the prosthetic field and traveling. And I was like, oh, okay, so that's still a very rare surgery. At the time, it was experimental. But so I think hand open and close, and it open and closes the hand. So it does make it – so I – it does feel like –
