..paralyzed from the waist down? Yeah, immediately, like right when it happened, like I just had this rush, of course, to get the adrenaline rush, but I had this rush and like this feeling of like I was sitting on a bouncy ball because it kind of like made me off balance because I couldn’t feel it from like my belly down. And yeah, immediately was paralyzed and I just pulled over. Call now. On one, they were coming to get me, and when I hung up on that 11, I like, call my call my girl and I call my kids on. So my love them just because, you know, I was stressed and didn’t know what was going to go down. But, you know. Go down. But, you know, I made it through got through that and everything, and so did the guy get. And to be honest, man, I regret it, but like I said, I’ve come to accept life like this, but like I was saying, I got robbed.

Springfield. OK. That’s the capital, right? No, it’s a little bit south of the capital towards Arkansas. Yes, it’s really not that bad of a town. I just I was I was living a crazy life and living a crazy life. You know, you take risks that you don’t know they’re coming any day they can come, you know, so so you’re not doing that no more? Well, right? I spent a while after that healing and all that stuff. But right now I’m I’m wanting to go back to school and be a counselor for youth.
