Prior to November 2, 2022, I was a healthy 47-year-old looking forward to speaking at numerous upcoming Marine Corps Balls, a Veterans Day event at Appalachian School of Law in Grundy, Virginia, deep frying a turkey for my family on Thanksgiving, and more. However, around 2:00am on November 2, 2022, a sharp pain in my lower back and right side would be an indicator that this November may not go as planned.
I hope after you watch or listen to this episode, it helps you gain a better understanding of what happened to me, but most importantly inspires you to develop life skills that will help you thrive while living and when faced with adversity.
