Welcome back, you know
what is really interesting
00:00:14.33\00:00:15.56
after everything that you said.
00:00:15.59\00:00:17.45
I bet a lot of people just look
00:00:17.49\00:00:19.28
at your foot and say
oh man you lost your leg.
00:00:19.31\00:00:21.42
Right! But you have
got rods in your back,
00:00:21.46\00:00:23.53
you can't feel
half of your body,
00:00:23.56\00:00:25.53
and all that stuff and
so I want you to close out
00:00:25.57\00:00:28.10
the program, but I
want you to talk to somebody
00:00:28.14\00:00:30.64
that is dealing
with all of that.
00:00:30.67\00:00:32.06
All that junk, how
do you get up every day?
00:00:32.09\00:00:34.48
Why do you get up every day?
00:00:34.52\00:00:35.84
Why do you fight
through this stuff?
00:00:35.87\00:00:36.98
Take it!
00:00:37.02\00:00:39.75
To me the biggest thing is
that you go into the situations
00:00:40.65\00:00:43.86
that you think never
are going to happen to you.
00:00:43.89\00:00:45.52
I never thought that I
would fall off a cliff.
00:00:45.56\00:00:47.12
I never thought that I
would have to cut my leg off.
00:00:47.16\00:00:48.95
I never thought any of
this would happen to me.
00:00:48.99\00:00:50.24
But you realize when you
are in it, that it is a process
00:00:50.27\00:00:54.57
and it's like seasonal changes.
00:00:54.61\00:00:56.15
Just like a really cold
winter and you know without fail
00:00:56.19\00:00:59.84
at the end of that winter
spring is going to come around
00:00:59.88\00:01:02.84
and you are going to be
able to move out of it just like
00:01:02.88\00:01:05.81
spring moves out of winter.
00:01:05.85\00:01:07.70
You see that in your growth,
you see that forward movement.
00:01:07.73\00:01:10.35
For me I saw
that I was still me.
00:01:10.39\00:01:14.10
I still wanted to go do all
the things that I did before.
00:01:14.13\00:01:16.99
The accident did not
take my identity away,
00:01:17.02\00:01:19.38
I was still Craig, a
Craig that was very different,
00:01:19.41\00:01:22.84
and obviously
pieced and parted out.
00:01:22.88\00:01:25.20
I was still me and I
wanted to go forward and what
00:01:25.23\00:01:28.22
I realized was all of a
sudden God was showing me
00:01:28.26\00:01:31.21
the way through that.
00:01:31.25\00:01:32.22
Not to say that there weren't
days that I can't get up.
00:01:32.23\00:01:35.07
There are days
literally now, six years later,
00:01:35.11\00:01:37.76
where I am in my
wheelchair all day.
00:01:37.80\00:01:39.88
That's what I do, I work
on my computer and that is it
00:01:39.91\00:01:42.26
because I feel terrible.
00:01:42.30\00:01:45.01
I'm all achy, I
can't move around.
00:01:45.04\00:01:47.11
But I also know
that that is one day.
00:01:47.14\00:01:49.14
So in the scheme of my life,
in all the events in my life
00:01:49.18\00:01:52.62
that is just one day. Exactly!
00:01:52.65\00:01:54.30
It's going to be
over the next day,
00:01:54.33\00:01:56.51
it's going to be a better day.
00:01:56.54\00:01:57.75
So even if I go through
periods of time that are really
00:01:57.78\00:02:00.23
dark, and really
tiring, and really hard,
00:02:00.27\00:02:02.29
I know that
they are just a time,
00:02:02.32\00:02:03.86
they are not
the rest of my life.
00:02:03.90\00:02:05.37
This may be a little cheesy,
but talking about being over,
00:02:05.40\00:02:09.14
it's nice having
you on the program.
00:02:09.18\00:02:11.52
Thank you so
much, thank you so much.
00:02:11.55\00:02:13.82
A had to hand you that and
I just have to say for anybody
00:02:13.86\00:02:16.97
who is dealing with something.
00:02:17.00\00:02:18.13
I like what you are saying is
that some things are transient.
00:02:18.17\00:02:20.26
You are going to have
good days and bad days,
00:02:20.30\00:02:22.70
but recovery means
getting back up again and I am
00:02:22.73\00:02:25.10
the same person.
00:02:25.14\00:02:26.25
I don't care what is
hitting you, you can get through
00:02:26.28\00:02:30.34
without changing who you are.
00:02:30.37\00:02:34.98
