Nine months.

How long were you kind of incapacitated, in a sense, before you got stem cells?
Nine months. Okay, so just imagine for nine months being. I don't know, just like, not knowing that, like, uncertainty in psychological terms is very taxing. Just for nine months, I thought, well, you know, ever the optimist, I thought, well, something is out there that's going to work.
And you're a young guy.
Yeah. Yeah.
You're eating healthy.
You'Re taking.
Good care of yourself. So it's surprising that it wasn't.
Yes. And this injury, I thought, well, I've been injured before, broken bones, and they healed in a matter of weeks. But this chronic injury was just taking over my life. And I think I got the advice of, okay, don't do anything for six weeks. Just let all the stem cells do their job and do their work. But two months later, I went to an event. I was able to go running and jumping and dancing, and I thought, this is magic.
