left-hand was missing the middle portion. i had a big operation last night. to regain my legs and my limbs, and my life. i am comfortable where i am right now, spiking to the family, knowing we have a plan parsed out ahead. things are getting better, today is day one of the start of a video diary for me. i decided if i had a bad day or feeling sad, just to tell people, not against the my natural instinct to d do, that it worked wonders. 21 of april, i am a good mood, i had my operation yesterday, all seem to go well and i got off phone with all alicia that makes me feel better and i saw the video from the girls at home that live very much. i love you.
his name, i knew what it was going to be, i said are you absolutely sure, she he said yes, i just listened into put the phone down. i never want another phone call like that. maybe an hour or so later, i learned it was the benjamin hall who was taken to the hospital. that pierre and sasha were missing. still looking for them. i found out that sasha is missing. very m i found out the unit they were with, i called the chief of the unit. the top people at fox were involved right away, immediately went into this emergency operation. i saw the number flash up on my phone, it was an american number. i didn t recognize it i knew it was probably something
invade. i think every single journalist that covered war or anything would want to go to ukraine. i wanted to go to ukraine. i think the pull for everyone to go was so strong. the call came in and said we want you out there as soon as possible. there s a flight leaving and could you be on it? we had discussion before he d been asked like you must really feel bad you re not there and he did. he definitely needed to go. i think alicia understood the job i was doing and even if she had some misgivings about the dangers of the war, she knew it was important. benji s job was going to ukraine and not going to kyiv. exodus is underway and this line sneaks back about 20, 30 miles and has taken some people four days to get this far. in lviv, the story was mainly about the people trying to flee

there. every minute of every day that i was injured. i could not have gotten through it without him, jacques was behind me the times that i fell. out of nowhere hands were there to grab me, lift me up. jacques was there when i cried. told me it would be okay. ben had goals to do a lot go back to work. we had to start withstanding up, walking and getting stronger. first day i got a leg, i took one or two steps on it. loved it. every day was about doing more. just getting better. it feels like a corner has been turned i reached a point that to be honest. at some point was not sure i would make it. days that were more challenges than others, benji would routine let s look at me and say, okay, what do you got, i ll have a
