CHAPTERS:
I didn't do any for this video, SORRY!

ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
‍ |A| How awful of me to completely forget about practicing this? That is until I saw this video. I’ve been working on walking so I haven’t practiced this. I’m positive once I’m walking all of the time I’ll have the strength to do this.
‍ |B| This was a good idea but we don't end up going.
‍ |C| We both got chicken picatta, I just got mine over broccoli instead of pasta.

THE THUMBNAIL: Is when I’m relearning how to say bobby pin.

DISCLAIMER Some days I walk more than what's tracked. This is because I forget to put my watch on for the first part of the day. My watch tracks a lot and then there are the days that I forget. My watch also doesn't track when I'm walking with my walker because, my arms are not swinging. I try to keep everything in chronological order.

MEANS:
‍ There will be more information in the description about what's going on in the video, just look for the corresponding letter.
Instead of specifying every time that I repeat something, there will be a refresh symbol in one of the corners. I'm not doing this for every word but I try to add it when I notice a correction in my speech.

ABOUT ME: I grew up in Connecticut, moved to Florida, got in a car accident which is how I obtained two Brain Injuries, a diffuse Axonal Injury and a Focal Injury. I stayed in South Florida for 5 years. Then I moved back to New England, first I went to where I’m from, Connecticut and now I reside in Massachusetts. I originally moved back to New England for the health care. I ended up in Massachusetts because the healthcare is phenomenal and my Mom works up here, Massachusetts also has a neuroscience research team with over 2,000 specialists and researchers. To get more specific it's at Spaulding rehab, I knew this was where I needed to be, Massachusetts has a background in dealing with Brain Injuries. I was extremely excited for Massachusetts to take over my care. Some of the best doctors in the world work out of Boston, Massachusetts.

I have this channel to show people what a TBI entails. I have two brain injuries, a diffuse axonal injury and a focal injury. I have brain stem damage, I also had strokes, seizures, 2 heart attacks. I also had an IVC filter put in to prevent blood clots. That IVC filter I just had removed at Massachusetts General in Boston. I believe it was May of 2020. Eventually I'll make a list of everything so that everyone can understand.

SORRY: I try to bleep out all bad words, if I missed any I apologize.

MY SHORTS: I started Social Media by telling stupid jokes on Tik Tok. It helped me learn how to talk again. I thought I was going to continue this by using YouTube shorts. I have started making my deadlifts into a short. (No gym right now, I broke my collar bone.) This is where I plan on focusing my energy for now.
