Hi everybody this is Scott Sad we are Monday August 5th

2024 I wanted to share with you an important life lesson well that life imparted upon me yesterday.

It was around 4.30 in the afternoon, local time here in Southern California.

We had just finished playing soccer at the beach and I decided to go into the water at a

beach that we've been going to for many many years. We've seen stingrays in the

past there but had always stayed clear of them.

And as I was walking towards the deeper water to start swimming,

I felt a massive you know impact on my foot that

very very quickly became excruciatingly painful.

Made my way out of the water.

Then my foot was just gushing, you know, a massive amount of blood.

Made my way to a bench.

It turns out that there was a family that has lived on that beach,

has a beach house right there that are,

they're aware of what happens with sting gray, stings things there and so right away she got a big bucket of hot water and for about the next hour and a half two hours it was just

unbelievable pain and then eventually we made our way to the hospital because they wanted to make sure that the barb was not in me, the barb of this thing was not in me and that there was also a possibility of some very dangerous infections.

So we went to the hospital, had an x-ray, there was no barbed,

then I was given a tetanus shot, and then I'm on antibiotics now I think for the next week.

But if you saw me today, you would think nothing ever happened.

So if you compared what I was like during those first two hours where I was really just writhing in pain

compared to the walk that I just took today is unbelievable. So what are some life lessons

that that Stingray taught me.
