Wow! Time flies. Facebook reminded me of this memory from 6 years ago. I would have shared it earlier this week but I was traveling; I had back to back mental health conferences at work…Anyway, back in October 2020, I was on the Emmy-nominated program, The Whitney Reynolds Show in an episode called “The Comeback Kid.” Whitney interviewed me about life with chronic illness. Our interview begins around 8 minutes in. She also interviewed Holocaust survivors and retired NFL player Rashied Davis who was very nice. Rashied and I filmed on the same day.
