We have to prioritize mother

As a country we have, and particularly in the deep south said that were pro birth, if you're really going to be pro birth, we need to be pro motherhood improved family it looks and sounds a little like science fiction. This is the first carbon removal planned earth designed to ingest harmful seal to two from the atmosphere and pumped into the earth where it gets turned to stone. I am optimistic as an engineer I am absolutely in one of them is a citizen. Maybe half this goal can be reached technically, it's just whether we have the political and social will to do it. I think that's the exact right way of looking at it.

History present July's environs

we'll disastrous corporate fraud. In our new a serious. We look at the kids for cash scandal, a story about corruption inside america's system of juvenile justice in northeastern pennsylvania roy. Incidents had begun noticing an alarming trend. Children were being sent waiter, jail in high numbers and often for committing only minor offences. The f b I began looking to local judges and when the full picture emerged, it made national, lines. The judges were earning a fortune carrying out a brazen criminal scheme, one that would after the lives of countless children and force a heated debate about punishment and america's, I'm an old justice system following can scandal. Wherever you get your pont guests, you can listen ad free. The amazon, music or wondering at the united States is in the middle of maternal health crisis today,

a woman in the. U s is twice ass, likely to die from pregnancy complications than her mother was a generation ago. Statistics from the world health organization show. The united states has one of the highest rates of maternal in the developed world women in the? U s are ten or more times likely to die from pregnancy related causes. Then mothers in poland, Spain or Norway, some of the worst statistics come out of the south in places like Louisiana were deep pockets of poverty. Healthcare deserts and racial biases have long put mothers at risk. Tonight you hear from some of the women trying to improve maternal health care and the wizard and why they say last summer's abortion ban set off a domino effect, making a bad situation worse. The state of maternal health in the united states is abysmal and the way the anna is higher

it's maternal mortality in the us so in the developed world, Louisiana has the worst outcomes for women having babies, get married as an o b g Y n Louisiana's, former state secretary of health and founder of nest, a primary health service for families, DR rebecca geese spent a career advocating for better maternal care, now for its rich culture, legendary celebrations, Indiana also holds the distinction of being one of the riskiest places country to give birth thirty nine out every one. Hundred thousand mothers in louisiana die during or shortly after childbirth. How did we at here wines louisiana. This position that high sea sexual rates have contributed the lack of access to well woman care before and after pregnancy is fifty percent of the time. Women don't get that post partum care, which means they have untreated hypertension, untreated diabetes, untreated depression, the fact,

We have racial bias in health care, and so all of these things are compounded, especially worse for low income women as louisiana. Secretary of health, doktor G helped expand posts, part of medical coverage and push the state to track I'll, raise impacted care and maternal outcomes was an underwater. ordered, absolutely in the prior administration. When I was medical director we were. Hold, we were not allowed to show data that showed health disparities. There is because you lie, because the political establishment didn't want to admit that there were disparities. A steep board now use in reports. Every maternal death and louisa anna doktor geek worked with that board and found the results, especially upsetting data showed Eighty per cent of maternal deaths in the state were potentially preventable. We ve looked at this as a doctor as a policy baker. What needs to be done? We have to prioritize motherhood rate as a

country we have, and particularly in the deep south, said that we're pro birth before really going to be pro birth. We need to be pro motherhood and pro family right. What does that? Look like making sure that women? have time off to get their medical appointments, making sure that we have affordable childcare, making sure that women have access to well. Woman care access is a big hurdle for many women in louisiana. So, what's it like to raise I have trouble twenty eight year old, teresa du bois and thirty two year old, brittany cavalier are both married and mothers have to thank you. They are expecting their third babies this summer, who's gonna win. Brittany runs the local daycare that teresa younger daughter attends. They live in assumption.

Parish, rural county of twenty one thousand, where sugar cane is plentiful and doctors are scarce. So to give us this is a kind of where we are. How close is the nearest pediatrician, almost I've been overdue, an an hour and thirty five minutes. We have to do that you an invitation an hour and a half hours, a nice man is the law. It is a lot of money. Surely is a lot in the car is a lot on your body just waiting that long to get help of louisiana parishes are maternal health desert, meaning they don't have a single did you. I am leaving more than fifty one thousand women in this state. Without easy access to care and three times more likely to die of pregnancy related causes, the only hospital sums

is an equipped to deliver babies so cavalier, undue blah have to travel more than an hour to get to hospitals in batten ruse to give birth a harrowing journey when there's an emergency We also be one of the best countries in the world and just leaving the women not there to dry, starting with them ass margaret gila saw those disparities when she worked as a delivery room nurse in two thousand and eleven. She cofounded the new orleans based birthmark doula, collective, hey, it's alright. Dollars provide emotional and physical support before, during and after childbirth. Last year the collective worked with two thousand mothers. We work with the most marginalized families, who are most at risk for poor birth outcomes, and we prioritize with black and brown families with lowing families in louisiana

Black? Women are up to four times more likely than white women to die during or after childbirth. What you see in your liner for that black brown women are facing when their pregnant verses, a white woman. We live in a country that does not guarantee insurance coverage and healthcare to everyone. There is different and discriminatory care black and brown people are more likely to be on medicaid they're, going to practices that our busier that take more patience and that's where they do. It comes in Do you have your baby linked studies, show better birth outcomes for black women. Who've had to look hair there, you go that birthmark work in louisiana caught the attention of every mother counts, yeah, maternal advocacy group founded by model christy turlington after she suffered complications with the birth of her daughter in two thousand

I hemorrhaged. There was a lot of blood. There was a whole sort of stream of things that needed to happen really scary, scary and painful, but it was when I got home and I to think what about everyone else in the world that this happens too, but doesn't have that team of care working together under ending, what's happening and actively managing it. Those questions led turtle in around the world to document the challenges women face. Giving birth stories of midwives in haiti and mothers and bad ruse. How do you compare? U S, maternal health, hair to maternal health care and the rest of the world? Will the? U s is one of the eight countries that have She had an increase in maternal mortality, so we're certainly at the bottom rung last year. Every mother counts, destroy

did more than a million dollars to groups focused on strengthening maternal care. In the? U s a mission that became even more difficult last summer, After roe, verses wade was overturned by the supreme court in june Louisiana implement a sweeping abortion ban. The bans if a domino effect across the state impacting women like Caitlin joshua can you really organizer joshua and her husband were thrilled the learned she was pregnant last summer the couple have a four year old daughter and we're looking forward to expanding their only we sad experience, saint clair bang, I've lost sight of blood. She told her. She went to women's hospital in back rooms, were they did an altar? Sound examined and monitored her joshua says that's where the treatment ended. As I said. Ok, so is this a miscarriage and the young lady? She said I can

they tell you that right now, I don't know, and I said well, what do you mean? You don't know we did. The ultrasound. I recall her saying we're just sending you home with prayers, are going to hope for the best you're in pain. You think you're carrying and they say we're gonna send you home with prayer. You know where christians too, like we pray, but it just was insulting and the moment just because we may come there, for answers, so it it would have been nice to get a definite response. Women's hospital told sixty minutes. It's complex when diagnoses of early pregnancy loss is unclear. The standard of care is to wait. The next day, Kaitlin Joshua told us. Her pain became unbearable, so she sought care from a second hospital baton rouge general, where a doctor ordered another ultra sound state straight up said this doesn't look like a baby at. Are you sure you ever pregnant? This just looks like a first rate. She yeah I question whether you pregnant absolutely in they discharge me, maybe within an hour and a half years,

So after monitoring me and on the paperwork, it literally said, potential miscarriage turner age are possible, miscarriage, but nothing definite knowing what you know now about what your body was going through. Could you have died when I finally did get care from a midwife on like day five? She said that you certainly could have died. She said the amount of blood loss. The amount of fluids that you were passing was a lot for someone in such a short period of time. Why do you think there was such ferocious push back from not one but two hospital? I just have to believe it is just the vagueness of the abortion being an estate, that's cause so much fear around physicians, doing their job. We reached out to bad move. General Lee told us every patient is different. that, since the band, they have not changed the way they manage miscarriages or the options available to treat them. The hospital left joshua with one option to take tylenol and monitor for worsen

symptoms in louisiana, some physicians are now afraid to offer methods typically used to treat miscarriages because those same methods are used in abortion and could be seen as a legal, potentially landing health care providers in jail. To be clear: you are not seeking abortion, you were trying to have a healthy baby. You needed care and nobody would touch you absolutely. I think a lot of time We fail to realise the intersection reality between maternal health care, reproductive justice and abortion care. Until we understand that all of those things interconnect, we probably would not see change anytime soon We take an oath to do no harm and that's really our north star as a physician, but when the prospect of doing that might cause you to be brought up on criminal charges, that's a real,

difficult place for our positions to be in what strasse, doktor jennifer veg now has been in your doctor for twenty two years and is the current director of the new Orleans health department. Last summer, attorney general Jeff Landry sent a letter to doctors about the new abortion ban. That events no says paralyze matter, health care across the state. The letter was something that I've never seen before. As a practising physician, a non medical lay person inserting them selves into medical care, and there was direct line about any physician who violates this will their liberty and medical licence, and so really it was a threat. What kind of criminal panel He's does doktor face at twenty year and up to ten years of imprisonment, was hard labour. This is guidelines that are going to jail. Doctors don't want to be in a war her with there.

Stay. They want to be able to just practice. As the new Orleans health department director, doktor veg, now has seen how doctors are struggling to interpret the language of Louisiana new abortion ban. What there being told as well, you can consult with the hospital attorney, but I don't know of any other disease or process where routinely you're being told. We'll get the hospital attorney involved. That also brings up what, if the attorney This is something that the physician really feels is harmful, so really our positions are facing is the terrible choice, to make decisions that might not be in the best interest of the patient or risk going to jail. We reached out to three urban hospitals, rural hospitals providers, and they said we'd love to talk to you, but we're afraid guess that has been the concern

Didn't echo from providers. There are several providers. I think that would love loved to speak out but were told by their hospitals It's too risky, so why are you sitting over there? concern that we are going to see a worsening of our morbidity and mortality rates. Simply because access and simply because of fear last month, the world Stop climate scientists delivered a sobering warning. Their mammoth report to the? U n boy down to one message: act now before the climate break. Becomes unstoppable. The report says extreme weather has forced millions of people from their homes and devastated food. supplies of oil and gas emissions are at a record high. The! U n report calls for drastic cuts in fossil fuels, but if our old technologies,

got us into this mess. Can new ones get us out among politicians, corporate then billionaires one knew tat, Ology is gaining traction. It's called direct air capture that fact carbon dioxide out of thin air and locks it away underground. So like science fiction, we thought so too. Until we went to iceland to see the world's first commercial direct air capture plant in operation here on a frigid playing near the arctic. Circle worry. About an overheating planet seem far away yet tiny iceland has put itself on the front line with, kind of machine will fight climate change by sucking carbon dioxide out of the year. This is worker, the first commercial direct

capture plant on earth. What are they? How does this work here? You see the backside of these collectors where the as being pulled the system by aid of this ban. Carlos here too, is chief technology officer for climb the swiss company that built orca. He told us, as the fair Draw air in the carbon dioxide is trapped by a special filter inside these giant collectors. Each eyes of a shipping contain the captured seal too is then siphoned off to storage tanks. Had to shout over the powerful fans as bitter win whipped around. they didn't come for this? Wonderful, whether nobody denies the windows were harsh, but it's a good life test as well for the plant almost sounds like science fiction but what you are saying is that we can actually do this.

We will never doubted the fundamental physics chemistry of realising it under real life conditions is a whole different matter. That's what this system. it can be done. Climb works is now building a new plant in iceland ten times the size of worker. That will look like this a modular design that heritage told us can be easily assembled but capturing the c too, is only half of the story. So this is where the magic happens. Second half starts here in these metal igloos, where the seat Two is sent to be buried in the poorest volcanic rock of iceland, so this pipe is actually filled with what sandra oath is a geologist with card fix an icelandic company pioneered the ground breaking injection method. Here we have to see it too.

And this year, too, is actually dissolved and what their so it's actually just fifty one, just as you want and this prissy what that is being conducted here in two, the injection well sail far down ago. It's actually reaches over mile dial down, yet Z. Water is shot like a soda street into ice. The basaltic rock, where it reacts, with the minerals and hardened to stone. less than two years so the fizzy water turns to do so the matter of years, say it so you take this gas that you can't see, returned method of fishing waters and then turned to stone, and you don't have to worry about it. Turned into stone ass. He was quite amazing card fix, it didn't invent the process. Nature did

but nature takes millennia after years of experimenting and iceland ruling outdoor laboratory carb fix, figured out how to speed things up aerospace engineer Carlos heritage told us all was a milestone. Now the hard part starts scaling up fast enough to slow climate change whether we are taking the right direction will depend as much on societal things than on technical matters. My optimistic as an engineer. I am absolutely in the citizen, maybe half- I have made up her mind yet goal can be reached technically, just whether we have the political and social will to do it. I think that the exact right way of looking at it there's been a stampede of investment, microsoft, airbus ensure and giants with three

hoard in millions of dollars. But it's a stupefying challenge worker is built to take the emissions of about eight hundred cars or four thousand tonnes, seal to a year, but tiny fraction the annual ten billion tonnes and you say we need to remove from the atmosphere. It's the problem, of our generation. It's like a slight mugshots. Go calories, ngos and is an astrophysicist with carb things. He told us studying space, helped him to think big. We met him on a barren stretch of rock. It could have been more but figures and told us he saw potential. We need big solutions, we need to return the carbon back to where it came from, which is the earth tell me what you're doing here. This will be a first

kind carbon mineral storage terminal, which means that we are going to bring in seo to transport it from industrial point sources in europe and ship it here and inject it for a full, storage. It will be the world's first industrial scale, underground disposal site for co2, capable of handling three million tonnes a year, able sincere doubt a new world were tankers run. on green methanol. Would transport com dioxide from european businesses to iceland This is going to happen fast enough to help us with climate change. I dont know to be perfectly honest, we are demonstrating the first mineral storage up here at the megatons scale, whether that will happen in time. That is not entirely. That is up to

distance governance finances societies and, quite frankly, we running out of time: direct air capture, now exists is expensive and energy intensive in iceland. That energy is geothermal, renewable and green. That's not the case elsewhere so governments in europe and the? U s dangled billions of dollars of tax breaks, to encourage companies to take the plunge, but there's a bigger question then, just who writes the check fear that people will think o or we can now clean the air. We can just take this two out of the air, so we can carry on with business as usual all the time, but that's not how it works. We must stop the emissions and we ourselves off of fossil fuels. That's what we need to

right now. On top of that, we also must take down the carbon that we ve already put up in the atmosphere. Only then will we reach our climate goals so Carbon capture can never be an excuse for continuing business as usual. But it's that business as usual that critics are warning against as direct air capture exe as to the? U s: that's because here oil company, are one of the technologies biggest boosters they have been cut, during seal to to inject into oil wells for decades, not to bury it but to flush. More oil area for calories, wilson of card fix and many others. Some non starter wheedle, see the need to work with the oil sector

and gas industry could help with the financing of the direct air capture. Why not team up with you? We don't need them for direct air capture Quite frankly, we don't want there to be on oil and gas industry in forty fifty years There will still be in all industry and for two years I have no doubt about that. I think our company, will be a different company by twenty fifty that companies occidental petroleum and vigour. I'll, see you she. To turn oxy into what she calls a carbon management company, It has set aside more than a billion dollars to build. What will be the world's or direct air capture plant in texas. So this at present, the co2 that's equivalent to taking two hundred thousand cars off. The road haulage showed us

this version of how she'll too, would be sucked out of the air. These are air contact towers, some of captured you seen too, will be locked away underground, just as we saw in iceland saw will still be used to extract more oil, but hollow told us, you in carbon. Sucked out of the year means the new oil produced is what she calls carbon neutral. That was hard to read, our heads around but she'll, be using carbon that your capturing and taking out of the air to produce more oil that will then generate more carbon, but the the oil will emit less carbon then the sale to weave injected together. So we ve put more at least the equivalent sometimes more co2 in the ground to get that oil? and the oil will limit when used. Hollered told us produce oil. This way is essential,

The transition to a green economy. Airlines in ships, for example, would need to run on fossil fuels until a sustainable alternative is found that could take you until then hollow argues using seal to to get that oil helps keep on emissions? Ukraine will say can't trust an oil company talking about senor c that you're. She's. Here is tantamount to green, washing our first We would never stand one point, two billion dollars for green washing, so we ve got monumental task ahead of us. The way that the seal to enhanced our recovery process works? Is that way and reduce more out of the atmosphere. Then what our problem well admit when used, and so if not a concept that people can get then wave

we will know we will not have a chance to achieve what we to achieve who Does she knows critics of big oil are suspicious and that many, industry isn't moving fast enough to avoid a climate catastrophe. On that point, all a dozen disagree. She told us with the help of tax incentives. Occidental plans to one hundred thirty or more direct air capture plants by twenty thirty five, and we know how to It happened. We know how to drill the wells. We how to safely sequestered. if we were in iceland- and we were talking to some of the direct air capture companies- and to be blunt, they don't quite believe you are going to walk the talk that's the only way that doesn't words will never condemned. anybody. We need to get the director capture up and working. We need to make it better make it more. Economical and

start having developed all around the world. The next decade will be critical if the direct air capture history is to grow big enough to make an impact, both carb fix and climb. Worse told us. They will be expanding to the. U s. Neither plans to work with, american oil industry, don't be fooled by the name. They call australian rules, football, forty, which sounds cute and precious, but fully is a sport that makes american football look like a quilting, be it's a game of almost cartoonish leave violent collisions without the benefit of pat. It features. Nonstop crash talk and is played on a field practically the size of a speedway, as the name does suggest australian rules. Football is the national sport down under with games.

Draw a hundred thousand fans and tv audiences that per capita often outright the nfl. So why, in the name of wolfing matilda, do crowds in melbourne sometimes break into chance of usa usa the answer their cheering mason cox attacks and who stands dearly seven feet tall ranks among the best, fully players out there and might be the most unlikely success story in global. ports today, six at first glimpse anyway. Mason talks comes across as the quintessential aussi rules or a fair play it each thirty.

I running about ten miles, a game game, tackling passing by punching the ball in scoring kicking the ball through goalposts, six points for splitting the centre. Uprights one point for the side. its? Unlike anything else, you ve ever seen its boy, the roughest sport in the world outside its a mix of basketball, football, its mix of soccer cricket. Even is really no rules too. Few sticks at each end. Just try to get it through. Those in the now, however, does more than eighteen once felt like fun, Please like a huge blowtorch, not only catching and kicking, but mastering the articles.

A tactic that transformed and opponents back into a step ladder. Yes, it's legal, it is one of the major things: Other people look on the go. Oh my gosh studies, insanity, sticker nissan's. Whilst the shoulder launch yourself up to fifteen feet in the air, take a grab come down and then be looking at this guy going yep. I just literally jumped on top of you like getting dunked at yep. It's very, talks are already a big time. Look basin clocks is the most unlikely player in the history of the sport, never mind. Six would eleven he's a pause player over to suit up or that he the only american in the leg he lived the first twenty three years of his life with out knowing the sport of foot he even existed. He may be an all celebrity in may recently have starred in the eia fills equivalent of the superbowl, but still mastering the sports nuances and he still

fuzzy on basic footing. Facts as we observed practice, kangaroo read what was made out of kilter skin biggest headaches for the pigs can wash boiler society can. I knew, I think they give him greece about that. You should hear them him about his axe. It here's collingwood, captain darcy, more, is kind of this weird fusion between southern draw and as the accident at an interesting It definitely loves putting it in the locker. That's the show the text, the straw. He puts the author, for you, think the football made of cowhide by the way travels in strange trajectories, get a load of cox's story. What would you said the odds of success we'll get away you could come to this. I wanted a million all a million, because this so many talented players all around the country that just never make it and the odds succeeding just so it's so difficult, like any professional for there are so many things.

I'm saying that make it really hard to succeed. New skills no track record. I I have no knowledge living in. thousands of miles from home by himself It's an extraordinary thing home for cox was suburban doubts we're in high school he had to duck under doorway use, but play soccer the great annoyance of class me to played hoops there's no way that he's not on a basketball team is simple. What else could you possibly do it seven feet tall other than play. Basketball right in mason is problems everywhere that there's out of a whole possibility of things you can do a sedentary, that's market, smart! Now, a boston celtic star who went to high school with Cox irregular your height wasted on the toll. That's the old saying you know he where all his height was wasted on his target for nothings, but as we've seen is now wasted at all after high school cox, went to Oklahoma state may during an engineering. The sophomore he was approach

about an unusual on campus job practising with the means basketball, team and stimulating tall opposing players, including brittany, greener When the men's team was short on height, they too called on talks which reunited him a smart. Then the team star Asian cox, back into the game. Walk on cock spend part of three seasons as the last option on the bench fro. As you said, you didn't go indeed, for a little bit, he dared garden be for little. Gaily remedy was ok, you he did garden gave her a little bit. Yes, when with you once played Kansas Cox, matched up against your will be Now, one of the nba best players in talks held he's, always had a little spunk, a little fire to him? He had moments where you know even racing like it was like wow. I didn't know you could this I didn't know you had any. Like is everything ok know a little bit be it a physical athlete just just a little bit just a little

shortly before graduating and twenty fourteen cox lined up a six figure engineering job. It acts on mobile then came an intriguing opportunity, a sky hunting for graduating college athletes, contacted always you to see if tax might want to attend to. Combine in los angeles, or this thing called a fl you've, never heard of or no I'd never heard of, but never once had. A word have been spoken about it in milan So we google that, as everyone does and then the thing comes up inside, I felt biggest It is literally people getting knocked unconscious, and yet you go to this combine. I have no idea what I'm doing myself into I live in L. I picked up an unmarked white van thrown in the back,

and it goes where you go to the hotel, we're going to do three days of training. If americans knew aussie rules football at all, it's likely because in the nineteen eighties before it could afford mba or nfl rights e S, p n aired a fl games, but the sport was founded in the eighteen hundreds as a way for cricketers to stay in shape in the sees its especially popular milburgh, where the embassy geek at nearly a hundred thousand cooper today, the largest stadium in the southern hemisphere will routinely keenly felt for games after the combine Cox was summoned to melbourne, where he impressed australian coaches with his height and his surprise.

agility soon after he declined his job at exxon and signed with collingwood cricket. The initial taste of what he's capable of can't kick can enable, but seven foot tall, Craig Mcrae is now the team's head coach in two thousand and fourteen. He was the head of development and assigned to tutor Cox. It finished college. You want to travel europe, but they took the football with him. I get this video light at night of mice and in the ball in some forest hints, scandinavia, somewhere and there's mice, and running really awkwardly carrying them like this and chopping of all onto his foot. There was progression still a long way to see what he does hawks approached his development. Like the engineer he was supposed to be, and that's what I play in the big box, making steady and deliberate progress solving the physics of using his height as an advantage, not a liability.

he's doing all of this with guys that have been playing their whole lives here. Where we grew up, they are sleeping with little footballs yeah we slept and breathed it and idolized the game. My son had none of all. What did you think he could pull it off got chip that I am going to prove a lot of people hans made his bigley debut in April twenty sixteen how a ground of the m c the annual rivalry game held on amazon day, a national holiday I remember sitting in this locker room, just thinkin myself holy smokes like this is: have it pretty quickly, you're sitting here about the plane.

of the most passionate fans point in the world on one of the biggest days, and you barely know if the sport is, I still have questions on the rules. At that point, Regarding the hundred said no is going on It was standing arm in arm with his teammates when australia's national anthem started. I think to myself. I don't know a word and everyone else is belting about next to me, so I kind of just laughed myself and just kind of hum along. I had no idea, that kind of took the nerves or subtlety that celebrate the game, started as if script cue, the sports movie music, a ball spilled out. The more got the ball and socks and the distance and putting it to the rookie upon it in scored with his very first the day I think was

there's a sort of thought that this might be something I differ quite a long time was literally often running his break out performance seasons later in the preliminary final, like the nfl conference championship game suggested, he could be a star having crossed fifteen times zones. Cox's parents were in the stands out day, as he scored three times If you're a guy that for years, see the beef and clocks became a fan favorite, he also developed into what locals would call a fair dinkum aussie. This country really got my heart. I think I'm still, Go get your acts that are the most american australian. Are the most australian american parliament, american Sullivan I'm still american, but on half and half now, flanked by his captain, his coach coat. His parents

his australian citizenship to prove it, seen more of the country's exquisite landscape than most natives, but as in any sport movie, there were setbacks in this play. He resembled a basketball player who headed in court for getting to dribble. The win Cox was a rookie new to the sport. These bloopers were part of the novelty act. The cox was a veteran. The passionate collingwood fans were less forgiving. His senior year bear the judgment. The criticism, adding injury to insult in two thousand and nineteen cox was raked across the eye in a game and diagnosed with two torn retinas, leaving him temporarily. Blinded that he says was when he felt the distance from home. I lost my senses.

Within forty eight hours and had to figure out if I ever was going to play, I fell again if I was ever going to see again. What's that internal conversation going like did, I do the right thing coming here and now I have something: that's probably gonna affect me for the rest of my life. Was it worth it and if quite isolated and alone six surgeries later he regained most of his vision, but was diminished player in the great american experiment?
