2. 0:01>> That doesn't happen usually at 20, does
3. 0:03it?
4. 0:03>> No, it was kind of a freak thing. The
5. 0:05right side of my body stopped working. I
6. 0:07like looked down at my arm and I was
7. 0:09like, "Whose arm is that? It's not
8. 0:10connected to my body." And I I kind of
9. 0:13blacked out and then I wasn't able to
10. 0:15talk. I had expressive aphasia for the
11. 0:17next couple days. And my friends
12. 0:19actually thought I was kidding cuz I was
13. 0:20always doing like weird jokes. They were
14. 0:21like, "Cut it out." And I was like,

16. 0:27weirdest things were coming out. Like um
17. 0:29when I was in the hospital like they
18. 0:30kept asking me how old I was and my
19. 0:32older much older boyfriend at the time
20. 0:35uh was there with me kind of fielding
21. 0:37these questions from the doctors. And
22. 0:38every time they asked me how old I was I
23. 0:40would go,
24. 0:41"16." Which was the only number I could
25. 0:43say, I don't know why. And uh and he
26. 0:45would go, "She's not 16, she's 20." And
27. 0:47they would go, "How old are you?"
