00:02 - I feel like this is the best I've ever done, man.

00:11 It was like living on edge, constantly having to be cautious

00:14 about everything that's around me,

00:16 everything that's head high,

00:17 anything that could potentially damage it,

00:19 or even hit my brain and kill me, really.

00:21 So it was an anxious time, a really anxious time.

00:24 And not being able to get to work

00:26 and enjoy life with friends and stuff like that

00:28 was just essentially just boring and daunting.

00:31 I'm astounded by the aesthetic of how it looks afterwards.

00:51 I was always concerned about how it'd look

00:53 with post-surgical, the shape of it.

00:56 But after the surgery, it's been amazing, really.

00:59 Not having to wear a helmet to walk around the house.

01:02 Basically just being able to enjoy time with friends now.

01:05 I've been out for a meal the other day

01:07 and was able to laugh and joke and not get any migraines

01:10 and not have people staring because I'm wearing a helmet,

01:13 like sticking out like a sore thumb.

01:16 And it's just, it's looking promising.

01:18 Like the only way is up, really, from here.

01:19 I can get back to work, start enjoying time out,

01:22 consistently visit the gym again.

01:24 I'm loving it, I really am.
