It's time for the good news.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
I don't want to go to abbe first, because we
started yesterday. We sent her to the doctor, and we
sent her home, and you went to the doctor.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Yeah, I did. I went to my doctor.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
Did you go right after the show? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (00:15):
They had an opening.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
Nice And what do they tell you?
Speaker 5 (00:18):
I do not have pneumonia. I mean she basically just said, yeah,
it is like a lingering cough. Because I've been really
tired and everything. So they gave me a steroid shot.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
Oh but you feel like a million bucks a day.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
Yeah, I feel a lot better. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
And so you're good. You're safe. Ray and Scuba feel safe. Yes, yes,
thought it was a runner's cough. So you had your
face covered yesterday.
Speaker 6 (00:41):
Being funny, I know what it's It's not any her
voice hasn't changed. It's not like she's like blood curdling coughing.
It's just it's like she went on a marathon run.
Like what you're gonna it's gonna affect your respiratory breathing.
She was sick though before the race though, to be fair, Yeah,
yeah I was.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
It comes it's like these coughing attacks. That's what happened yesterday.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Great. They just said Abbie was outside coughing up along.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I never like to hear that because I don't want
the hantavirus spreading around the room here.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
So good, you're good, then I'm good. Let's go all right.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
She laughed at me when I said it could be pamonia,
like my coworker said, it probably is. Well, she'd listened
to my lungs and she's just like, no, you're good.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
She told you go to YouTube to find some exercises.
That's probably right. Yeah, yeah, okay, So let's go around
the room. Let's shitch it up. Lunchbox to go.
Speaker 7 (01:26):
First May yesterday I went out to the mailbox. The
mail had come and I'm going through the mail. Junk junk, junk.
Oh something to me And I open it up and
it is twenty dollars from Jerry Dudy.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
I got paid.
Speaker 8 (01:43):
That's cool.
Speaker 7 (01:44):
They said it would take like a month. Took like
a week and a half.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
They send you cash.
Speaker 7 (01:48):
Now they send me a check for twenty bucks. That
is awesome because I'm always like, yeah, right, it's not
really gonna come. It's gonna take a month. But you
go out there a week and a half later and
there's twenty dollars in the mail. Heck, yeah, pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
You got paid.
Speaker 7 (02:01):
Now I got to go to the bank.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
It's been twenty bucks in gasket into the bank these days,
no Morgan.
Speaker 8 (02:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (02:09):
So I had my audiology appointment and I finally have
a path to start following. I think I have vestibular migraines.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
You've had a lot of stuff.
Speaker 9 (02:21):
What vestibular migraines can be connected to vertigo. Basically, they
can trigger each other. They don't know which triggers each other,
but one of them does, and so it's connected to
the vertigo. But it's not a migraine like you would think.
They're different. Vestibular migraines are like your head feels really
heavy all the time, and you're kind of what they
call a vertigo hangover.
Speaker 7 (02:43):
But like they did, they put.
Speaker 9 (02:44):
Tubes in my ears and poured hot water in them. Yesterday,
I had like the you know when you see people's
heads with a bunch of stickies, oliver and wires connected.
I had that all over my face. It was like
a whole two hour long appointment.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Why are you laughing?
Speaker 7 (03:00):
I mean Morgan has come in here and told us
six different things that she.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Has the same with you.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Oh yeah, no, he had nothing. I don't know they don't.
Speaker 7 (03:10):
But she comes in and she's like, I figured out
the problem why I'm getting vertigo.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
So that's down the road.
Speaker 7 (03:16):
Two weeks later, it's like I went to a different
doctor and I know why I'm getting vertigo. And then
two weeks later, man, now I know why I'm getting vertigo.
It's just like I don't know what is right and
what's wrong. But you are listening to everybody saying everything.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
What if she continues to just learn.
Speaker 7 (03:32):
But which one is right?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Though?
Speaker 7 (03:33):
How do you know?
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Well, what if one thing leads to the other? Wise?
She does have something, but there's something even bigger that's
affecting all.
Speaker 9 (03:40):
Right, I like your body is all connected and all
the peaces.
Speaker 7 (03:42):
Well, she stopped eating food on Thursdays because of her vertigo,
that she needed to stop eating food.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
You can try different things to see what she said
that's working.
Speaker 9 (03:51):
And it was like, my symptoms in my episodes have
gotten better, but it's it's still trying to figure out
why it's happening. I'm thirty two years old. I shouldn't
be having vertigo, and so why are you angry.
Speaker 7 (04:02):
No, No, I'm just I'm she's I feel like she's
turning into Amy where she goes six different doctors and
they all tell her different things and she starts taking
pills for everything.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Old Amy, not amyas person.
Speaker 7 (04:16):
The Candida the I think we.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
All have Candida for sure, a little bit of it, don't.
Speaker 8 (04:24):
Are you just mad? Because she went to the doctor
and the doctor said, all right, here's your problem, versus like, well,
this is.
Speaker 7 (04:29):
The third solution she's had at least for her vertigo.
And so I'm just I'm worried that she's just barking
up different trees.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
You're worried, she's worried.
Speaker 8 (04:40):
Interesting.
Speaker 7 (04:42):
So I mean, just hey, mark it down in the calendar.
One month from now, she'll have a different doctor's one
and they'll tell her she's having vertigo because of this.
Just mark it down.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
What if somebody went in for like a finger injury, right,
and they go you go into the finger doctor and
the doctor's like, yeah, you got definitely something wrong with
your knuckle. Here we're going to diagnose dab. I think
you should go to a hand specialist. So then you
go to handspecial like, oh, this is why your finger
hurts because your whole hand is now bother. It's in
your hand. It's hurting your finger, but it could be
larger than that. Now you have to diagnose. You've got
a finger diagnosis, you've got a hand diagnosis. And so
(05:09):
then you go to a shoulder doctors. Oh, it's actually
I'll root it in your shoulder and that goes down
through your arm. It's fecting your hand into your finger.
This is what Morgan's doing. She's just getting it diagnosed larger.
So they are telling her what's wrong with her, but
she keeps going to new people. They're diagnosing it more macro.
Speaker 9 (05:25):
Right, It's kind of like an onion lunchbox, and you
just peel back layers as you start to figure things
out and understand.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
So, who's the one that told you to change your
diet for your.
Speaker 9 (05:36):
It's a functional nutritionist that I've been working with with
also long COVID, which is still connected with the vertigo.
That's when it all started happening. So again, it's an onion.
I'm peeling back layers to figure out the problem. I'm
just more I guess, dedicated it to it than you are.
Like you go to people and You're like, I don't know.
They told me to look up YouTube and you don't
follow a road. I'm following the roads that they're taking
(05:58):
me here.
Speaker 7 (05:59):
No, you're saying that I don't follow a road. I've
been to at least eight doctors. I've had a CT
going downroads. I've had a CT skin, an MRI, two ultrasounds.
I mean, so saying I don't go down roads, I've
been to so many doctors.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
We had to get you to tell them you had
a swan testicle that I was like, we had to
convince you to do that.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
I've been to so many doctors that I was going
to another doctor and they said, bring your MRI in
and I couldn't even remember which place I went to
get my MRI because I've been to so.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Many freaking I think we know the rout.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
The root is. Morgan's getting answers.
Speaker 8 (06:29):
He's not correct.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Okay, that's gotta be it. Answer forget about why does
he even started?
Speaker 8 (06:36):
Tell me something good?
Speaker 9 (06:37):
Morgan?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
And he was laughing.
Speaker 9 (06:40):
So now she's gonna do what like, Well, now I
have to go to a neurologist and get an MRI,
and I also have to get a full blown hearing
exam different than the vestibular function test I just did.
It's just I'm walking down the paths try and get answers.
Vertigo doesn't come with a lot of answers, Like there's
a lot of unknowns, a lot of things they don't understand.
So I'm just walking down each one trying to get answers,
(07:01):
hopefully to find something that can help alleviate because one
day I would love to.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Not have vertigo.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Well, you're very lucky because although they may not vertigo,
lunchboxy dies.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
I mean I just looked it up. I mean, have
you thought about, Oh, that's not a good virus to
have to cause your vertigo. You know what causes vertigo? Herpes?
Speaker 3 (07:23):
I'm really glow. You're one Google, because a lot of
us carry herpees, says.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
Various herpes viruses are known causes.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Okay, mount is.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Break there?
Speaker 9 (07:38):
I bet herpes can also involve us swollen testicle.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
You know that might actually just be a herpee. Let
mean Google that does swollen alright at a europe.
Speaker 8 (07:48):
Okay, Well, last night was crazy because I recently got
this like air frar slash oven, you know, tabletop oven
or whatever, and I found these cool like parchment paid
sheets that go in the bottom so it doesn't get dirty, right.
So I was so proud of these sheets. I put
one in. I'm heating up some pizza last night. I
go upstairs. Fire alarm goes off, and the way my
(08:11):
house is with the smoke alarms, they're all connected, so
they all start beeping all over the house, and he
goes fire. Fire.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
It says house fire, that's what it says.
Speaker 8 (08:20):
And so I'm like, oh my gosh. All the kids
are freaking out. One of im is running out of
the shower, like what's going on. I go downstairs on
my whole oven thing is on fire. So one of
those actual flames. Yeah, the parchment paper thing had caught
on fire and it was in the oven, and I panicked,
like I didn't know what to do, unplugged the whole
thing and threw it outside.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Oh my god, guard yeah, my backyard.
Speaker 8 (08:41):
And then the paper just kind of like disintegrated and
it was over.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Did you not chase it down with like fire extinguish
or water or anything.
Speaker 8 (08:47):
I didn't want to ruin them. It's a really nice fire.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Your whole house might have burned.
Speaker 8 (08:52):
I know, I know, but the fire was contained in
the little in the oven, so like I felt like
I could grab it and it wasn't hot. I felt
like I could grab it and just throw it out.
But man, it was scary. We almost lost the whole house.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
So I guess now you know, like your particular unit
can't handle the parchment paper.
Speaker 8 (09:09):
Yeah, but it was at four hundred and I put
it low, so it was actually touching one of those barbs,
you know, like the heat rods or whatever. So don't
do that. I'll put the parchment paper under the pizza
next time, not like at the bottom of the oven.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
You learned a lesson?
Speaker 3 (09:23):
You put it at the bottom.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
To me, that didn't stick out because I don't know
enough about it. Why would you laugh because you would
expect to heat.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I would expect what exactly happened to him to happen.
Speaker 8 (09:37):
Well, my wife said, the paper is like fireproof, and
I'm like, well cool, I'll put it right on the
very bottom where it's like close to those those heating rods.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
But no, Yeah, you learned, is it because you got herpies?
Speaker 8 (09:49):
Google it? So yeah, that was close to one guys.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
So the good news is no house fire and your
oven is still good.
Speaker 8 (09:57):
Correct, and my smoke alarms are pretty awesome. Yeah, pretty good.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I love that they talked to usnow.
Speaker 8 (10:02):
Yeah, but they freak out. They freaked the kids out.
The kids like one of them ran out naked from
the shower.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Like I did sprints this morning, and so we had
doctor Kellehman the other day telling Eddie that he recently
read a study about how sprints will help produce testosterone.
So I thought, I'm going to wake up early. All
I did is five sprints, nothing crazy. I didn't have
(10:28):
a lot of time, but I did thirty second sprints
with a min and a half rest in between, and
I gotta say it felt pretty good. And I'm bumping
up my testosterone maybe potentially with that. Obviously we have
to do it more than once. But I'm excited because
my blood work appointment is today, so I'll find out
today if my testosterone has gone up.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Well, it won't be from those five sprints that you do, right,
I know that's like eating BROCOLI wants like, oh my god,
and amen, so healthy.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I know it's just all related to testosterone. My tell
me something good is that I'm thankful my follow up
blood appointment is finally here because I've been waiting to
see if my testosterone yampelle is producing me some more testosterone.
But then also I was proud of myself for getting
up like fifteen minutes early to do my five minute
or my thirty second sprints. With a minute a half,
(11:17):
I would say to do that whole thing. It's about
a ten minute session. Sprint for thirty rest for a
minute and a half, sprint for thirty rest for a
minute half.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
A thirty second sprint I don't think is a sprint hard?
Speaker 4 (11:29):
No long?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
What at the end of it?
Speaker 4 (11:31):
I'm like, yeah, yeah, die, you can be dying. I
think it's a lot, right, that's that's extreme.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
But my how long should I be doing one hundred
meters max? Well? How far is that only? Seconds? Is that? No?
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Probably about seven six or four?
Speaker 6 (11:45):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
So you think I need a sprint for less seconds?
Say more.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
It's not about less seconds.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
It's yes, if you sprint that long, you're begging to
have your hamstring pulled. But I don't think you're sprinting.
I think you're going faster and it's taking your breath away.
But a real sprint is going almost as hard as
you can.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
I feel like I was going pretty much as hard
as I not doubting you are going hard, okay, And
here I base that workout off of something I saw
a year ago, which to your point, I quit doing
it because my right hamstrings started bothering me. But you know,
I've started stretching the last few months, so maybe my
hamstring's in a better place. But I saw a doctor
(12:21):
on a podcast saying for women, you need to exert
yourself for thirty seconds, like as hard as you can
go for thirty seconds, and then rest for a minute
and a half. Whether it's lifting weights or some sort
of endurance training like sprints, that is really beneficial, And
just doing the five exertions is adequate for a woman.
(12:42):
Obviously you need to do other types of workouts, but
if you're looking for something quick like that can be
really great for older women, more mature women. I don't
know what geriatric women don't.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
I don't want you to think. We don't think you're
not working hard with thirty seconds. It's probably not intense
and a little too long.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Okay, So like on a treadmill, I'm at a nine.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
That's that's fast. Yeah, that's fast, Like I.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Pump it up to nine thirty seconds, and then I'm.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Great, good, that could be it.
Speaker 7 (13:11):
Oh soo a treadmill, so you do know you're maintained.
I didn't know if you could tell you were maintaining
the normal speed. I thought, you're doing it around the block.
Speaker 8 (13:17):
Yeah, you're outside in the dark, That's what I thought.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
Well, that's what I was saying, So maybe thirty seconds
is okay. I was thinking, you're outside, and you think
you're running as fast as you were at the beginning,
but you're pretty much slowing down.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
If I didn't have the treadmill, I wouldn't trust myself.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
I'd be like, that's hard to work. That's good, Just
be careful with your hamstrings. Yeah, that's why adults don't
do it.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Yeah, I'm glad you reminded me of that, because it
was a year ago that I heard the podcast about
the doctor saying that. So I was doing more of
those sprint type things and then all of a sudden
my hamstring went out and I couldn't even jog anymore.
I mean then I went no running, and then I
think November Stevenson did his half marathon for Haiti and
I joined him. On a mile for that, and I
(13:58):
don't even know. I think that was adrenaline because I
was like, I'm helping Stevenson raise money for Haiti, but
I just I can't. It's crazy to me. I used
to be a hardcore runner.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Which fart's crazy, the mental part, the physical, because physical understandable.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
I used to be a hardcore but just that I
thought either I thought I enjoyed it or I truly
did enjoy it, like high school, college and college is
when I ran the marathon, Like I used to go
run four miles for like with music and be like
I meet up with my friends. Hey, let's go run
town Lake for the six mile loop, like that's what
(14:36):
I used to do. Like I can't imagine doing that
I ran yesterday.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
I hate running, but I'm only runn to get my
ankle better.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
And how was it.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I think Michael's getting definitely getting there, but I'm not
pushing it, pushing it every time. I just try to
run fifteen seconds faster, but I'll run a mile before,
I work out a mile after. And just started fifteen
seconds faster than the last time. And so I did
it at eight forty five yesterday. That's where I've gotten
to my uh still not what I would consider asked.
But if I push it on a party of my ankle.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Again, yeah, you don't want that.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
So I won't run today.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Tomorrow I'll do it again. Do a mile before, do
my workout, do a mile after, try to hit eight thirty.
I'll probably cap out around eight and just start doing
that regularly. But Mike runs like fifty miles at six
minute places.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
It's crazy. But I'm not a runner. This guy runs
like crazy.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Mike and Stevenson, y'all should go for a run, a
long run. Yeah he wants to so, speaking of his
the half marathon he did in November for Haiti, this November,
he wants to do a full one.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Well you think he needs to get abby on that.
She's taking our money doing the same thing over and over.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Yeah, but I'm like, maybe he needs to get with
Mike Mike d I mean.
Speaker 8 (15:41):
I thot that does Michel like running? You like running
with people.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
I've never run with anybody before.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Oh, Stevenson won't. He doesn't need to talk.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Or perfect So I did that. I didn't think about that.
Did that yesterday. It was that two month appointment for
the baby so we did that, and like they keep
this baby book where they put down how much high
head weight, all the stuff.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
You guys probably know about it. If you don't, I'll
tell you about later. But she's like eighty percent eighty
five percent in everything.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Large kid. That's good, not a large, still small. I
don't even know how big baby's supposed to be.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
But we looked at all the percentiles and it's like
eighty five percent, eighty five percent, eighty eight percent.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
So she's in the healthy range for her age. No large,
I guess, I don't know. Percentages eighty that's.
Speaker 8 (16:32):
A higher the number of the Yeah, the more rare
it is, right, eightieth percent per got hanging and hanging there.
Speaker 7 (16:40):
Eightyeth percentile means you're in the top eighty. Like there's
only twenty percent of all kids that age that are
bigger than you. Oh, so you're bigger than eighty percent
of the kids.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
That's good, lunchbox, I feel like that's good. Like, yeah,
she's going to be a star.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Well, I don't know, it's not on me. Who knows,
I don't know. Not going to put any pressure already
training her, no pressure, she doesn't eleven in a mile
eleven in a mile. Uh So that was good.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I talked about in the other part of the podcast.
I had to go and get some medicine. But it's
amazing how much everybody is so smart about a baby's needs.
Meaning I had mentioned that the baby had acid reflex
really bad, and I had seventy two people telling me
exactly what the problem was, and they were all different,
and they were all different and they knew exactly and
(17:29):
it's like, you should do it. Was like with my
wife and on the Bobby cast that her and I did.
She has been on chemo now for a long time,
the chemo pills the low grade, and she has an
autoimmune that's really bad. And people were like, why don't
you just go to a homeopathic doctor? And my wife's
like I've been, I've been, and people keep going like,
just go on natural and try that.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
She's like, dude, I have done everything.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
When we tried every we went through a process, like
a year's long process. But I would say, if someone
suggest why don't you just do this?
Speaker 4 (18:02):
We tried it.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
But everyone is so a matter of fact and so
sure about their way, like if you just do this,
you're better, Like you don't even know what she has,
and she's like, people will be like, why don't you
just do this? That would solve it, And she's so
the internet's really smart, very they think they are. But yeah,
baby's good, got some medicine, healthy, random mile Arkansas won
(18:27):
their first game of the SEC tournament, which was good.
They beat Missippi State three zero. They are playing Lexington, Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky.
They play Alabama today, So everything's good, rocking, rocking. I
still haven't shaken off that. Not going to bed till
three o'clock in the morning on Sunday morning, Saturday night
after we flew back from my heart country. I haven't
(18:48):
shaken that yet. Like i'm older, you get the harder
it is to do that crap. Yeah, Like I'm not
fully back on my I don't have a good schedule anyway,
but like I'm hurting a little bit still from that.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
You probably the baby too. I feel like today I
felt It's the first morning where I felt which maybe
that's why I woke up and did some sprints. But
I feel like today I'm feeling back to normal.
Speaker 8 (19:11):
No, No, I'm not normal.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
It hurts. I'm still tired and hurt.
Speaker 8 (19:14):
Yes, I don't know when I'm going to feel better.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Did you drink it all, Eddie? Oh see I didn't.
I haven't really had much since the cruise, to be honest.
Oh yes, yeah, that wrecked me bad.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
You're still hurting from the cruise. I'm hurting from no weekends.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Like the cruise was late February, early March, and I
think Eddie or we were summer side stage or Elizabeth
who we work with, she was like, oh, here, I
got an extra drink. Do you want it? And I
was like, I don't think so, Like I just I can't.
I don't know what it. I mean, even just one
drink it would be fine. But it happened to be vodka.
(19:54):
Which vodka what was is the main ingredient and the
leechy martini that I had on the boat, and that
was just ye, we don't want that trouble even saying Leachie,
it hurts all right.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
There you go. Uh, that's what it's all about.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
That was telling me something good. It's time for the
good news with Bobby.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Last Wednesday, three generations of the same family graduated together
at Utah Valley University's class of twenty twenty six and
not just mom and daughter, which happens, and that's still
really cool. Grandma mom and daughter, Diana, Melissa, and Hadley
all received bachelor's degrees. They finished the same semester. They
(20:40):
did not plan on the timing happening. It came as
a surprise when they kind of compared their schedules because
one of them had one class they had to get in.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
And so Diane has been.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Working towards the degree for forty years, stepped away for
work and responsibilities back in olden days. You know, guys,
I have to do back in the words, and so
they all that's really that's a really crazy picture. That's
like a picture that that family will love forever. That's
a really cool pay I haven't seen the picture, but
I'm sure they all took one together, all three in
their gowns.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
That's awesome. That's from People magazine. That's what it's all about.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
That was telling me something good. It's time for the
good news.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
So, after seeing a Facebook post about a local woman
desperately in need of a life saving transplant, Carissa Smith
of Sisterville, West Virginia, donated part of her liver to
save someone that she had never met, just scrolling huh
scroll on Facebook. She was like, I think I want
to get tested. She's a school based probation officer at
Tyler Consolidated High School and she registered as a living
(21:44):
donor through the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. After she
got tested, she got approved. She found her match. Underwent
surgery earlier this year and all is well. They removed
half of her liver.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Just scrolling saw it and was moved by it. That's
I've got I would say, kind of a I know him.
But his wife was a Starbucks and saw a flyer
for somebody that needed a kidney and she was like, huh,
she don't have a kidney to that person, and now
they have.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
You know, like they'll see each other during the holidays.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
They're not like super super close, but they make a
point just like see each other. But it was just
from a random, like picture in a Starbucks.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
That's cool that they get to see each other. Chrisa
said she still hasn't met her recipient. The recipient's been
battling illness for years and has two children. She hopes
to connect with them in the future, but it's just
really special that she just saw on Facebook and decided
to do it.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Eddie under his breath went, that's really cool. I don't
know if he wants this to achnology keep saying it, yeah, oh.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
No, No, every donation story he's.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Always then he's like, why do you always come back
to me? But under his breath he's like, that's really cool.
So cool.
Speaker 8 (22:44):
Like you guys talk about like scrolling, you know, like.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
It's cool, but you're the one that's always said you're
going to do it and you never have done it.
Speaker 8 (22:48):
No, all I've said is like that one day, that'd
be so cool to do, Like I would love to
do that someday. And like, you know, I'm not scrolling.
I get to hear all these stories every day at
my work all the time. Livers knees being donated. That's
so cool.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
You're right, your moment will come, it won't and well
he will never will never have you will never do it.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
But your liver will grow back.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
That's half of it.
Speaker 7 (23:12):
But it grows back in like a few weeks now,
is it that fast?
Speaker 4 (23:15):
No, But it goes back there, you go. That's what
it's all about.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
That was telling me something good
