ืฉืœ ืœืœืžื•ื“ ืœืœื›ืช ืฉื•ื‘.
01:46
but it went on to pay dividends for the rest of my life.

It happened when I attempted to step up a curb.

ื–ื” ืงืจื” ื›ืฉื ื™ืกื™ืชื™ ืœืขืœื•ืช ืœืžื“ืจื›ื”.
01:55
Now as rudimentary as this action sounds to most of you,

01:57
stepping up a curb is somewhat of a challenge
38
117843
2106
ืœืขืœื•ืช ืœืžื“ืจื›ื” ื–ื” ืืชื’ืจ ืจืฆื™ื ื™
01:59
for those of us without ankle movement.

ืœืืœื• ืžืื™ืชื ื• ืœืœื ืชื ื•ืขืช ืงืจืกื•ืœ.
02:02
So I tried stepping up the curb

122231
2152
ืื– ื ื™ืกื™ืชื™ ืœืขืœื•ืช ืœืžื“ืจื›ื”

the way I'd always known how, front on,

for days on end,
42

1713
ื‘ืžืฉืš ื™ืžื™ื ืจืฆื•ืคื™ื.
02:08
with no success,
43
128807
1717
ืœืœื ื”ืฆืœื—ื”.
02:10
until it became obvious that the time and effort
44
130548
2240
ืขื“ ืฉื–ื” ื”ืคืš ืœื‘ืจื•ืจ ืฉื”ื–ืžืŸ ื•ื”ืžืืžืฅ
02:12
I was investing into this endeavor was clearly disproportionate

ืฉื”ืฉืงืขืชื™ ื‘ืžืฉื™ืžื” ื”ื–ืืช ื”ื ืœื—ืœื•ื˜ื™ืŸ ืœื ืคืจื•ืคื•ืจืฆื™ื•ื ืœื™ื™ื

to the benefit of its outcome.

ืœืชื•ืฆืื” ื”ืฆืคื•ื™ื”.
02:17
(Laughter)
47
137304
4664
(ืฆื—ื•ืง)
02:22
So, I decided to inspect the problem from a different angle.
48
142517
3153
ืœื›ืŸ, ื”ื—ืœื˜ืชื™ ืœื‘ื—ื•ืŸ ืืช ื”ื‘ืขื™ื” ืžื–ื•ื•ื™ืช ืื—ืจืช.

If I couldn't use an ankle joint

ืื ืื ื™ ืœื ื™ื›ื•ืœ ืœื”ืฉืชืžืฉ ื‘ืžืคืจืง ื”ืงืจืกื•ืœ
02:28
to achieve the range of motion that I required to mount the curb,
50
148618
3255
ืœื”ื’ื™ืข ืœื˜ื•ื•ื— ื”ืชื ื•ืขื” ื”ื ื“ืจืฉ ืขืœ ืžื ืช ืœืขืœื•ืช ืืช ื”ืžื“ืจื›ื”,
02:31
I would have to use a different joint,

1811
ืืฆื˜ืจืš ืœื”ืฉืชืžืฉ ื‘ืžืคืจืง ืื—ืจ,
02:33
like my hip.
52
153732
1150
ื›ืžื• ื”ื™ืจืš ืฉืœื™.
02:35
So I turned my body perpendicular to the curb
53
155253
2740
ืื– ืกื•ื‘ื‘ืชื™ ืืช ื’ื•ืคื™ ื‘ืžืงื‘ื™ืœ ืœืžื“ืจื›ื”
02:38
and placed my foot up sideways,

2115
ื•ืœืžืงื ืืช ื”ืจื’ืœ ืฉืœื™ ืžื”ืฆื“,
02:40
and I was able to step up immediately.
55

2177
ื•ื™ื›ื•ืœืชื™ ืœืขืœื•ืช ืžื™ื“.
02:43
Within five minutes,
56

ื‘ืชื•ืš ื—ืžืฉ ื“ืงื•ืช,
02:44
no staircase was safe from my advances.

02:47
(Laughter)
58
167028
1587
(ืฆื—ื•ืง)
02:48
That very day, I climbed a staircase of three flights,

2009
ื“ื™ ื”ืชืจืฉืžืชื™ ืžื–ื” ื‘ืขืฆืžื™,
02:54

02:57

That was a long weekend.

03:00
(Laughter)
64

(ืฆื—ื•ืง)
03:05
Now, in my past life as an able-bodied person,
65
185591
2939
ื‘ืขื‘ืจื™, ื›ืื“ื ื‘ืขืœ ื’ื•ืฃ ืžืชืคืงื“,

ื”ื™ื™ืชื™ ื’ื™ื˜ืจื™ืกื˜,

191285
1310
ื”ื™ื™ืชื™ ื ื’ืŸ ื“ื™ ืกื‘ื™ืจ,
03:12

Nonetheless, music was a great passion of mine,

and when I lost my arms,
71
201040
1271
ื•ื›ืฉืื™ื‘ื“ืชื™ ืืช ื™ื“ื™ื™,
03:22

1908
ืœืžืจื•ืช ื–ืืช, ื”ืžื—ืฉื‘ื” ืฉืขืœืชื”

immediately after being discharged from hospital was:

ืžื™ื“ ื›ืฉืฉื•ื—ืจืจืชื™ ืžื‘ื™ืช ื”ื—ื•ืœื™ื ื”ื™ื™ืชื”:
03:34
"If Ray Charles can play the piano while blind as a bat,

78
221964
2376
ืื–, ื”ืชื™ื™ืขืฆืชื™ ืขื ืžื”ื ื“ืก,
03:44
I designed a slide system that would hook into my left hook,

Now, if this worked,

232272
1798
ืขื›ืฉื™ื•, ืื ื–ื” ื™ืขื‘ื•ื“,
03:54
I would be able to play the guitar open tuned on my lap, like a slide.
