"As a nurse practitioner who used to work in trauma and neuro ICU- just looking at his scars, swelling, and dressings, this man has been through an underrated amount of physical trauma and has had some long days of being touch and go. Griffy, the fact you are posting this is a miracle but it just speaks to who you are at your core: someone who genuinely loves to share his gift of humor and messaging to us. I wish you a speedy recovery and a rehabilitation without set backs."
