00:00Yeah, but I'm all good, getting better. The only thing now that we're really waiting on
00:06is my eyes slowly opening, so we'll have some more information about that in the next month
00:12or so. And then, yeah, getting a hearing aid in my right ear, just for high pitches. But
00:18yeah, other than that, I'm all good. I've been back to my football and, yeah, just trying
00:26to get back to normal life.
00:28And how much do you remember about everything?
00:30So I don't remember the 12 hours before my accident, and then afterwards, it was about
00:37five and a half weeks afterwards that I started getting my memory back. But other than that,
00:42that's all I can remember.
00:44And do you have a message for all the friends, family, and even strangers who've supported
00:48you throughout?
00:49Thank you. I can't, like, I'm just so grateful for everyone. Like, I can't say thank you
00:55enough, because it just doesn't justify how great everyone's been. Like, there's not enough
01:00words that you can say to people. But absolutely, yeah, everyone's been fantastic. Strangers
01:07and like, I have so many people supporting me. Yeah, it's been great.
