[HOOK]
People tell me they are scared of the pain.
After enough of these conversations, I do not think that is usually
true.
[THE REAL THING]
Ask someone what actually bothers them and it comes out differently.
It is lying flat while someone stands over you.
It is not being able to talk with your mouth open.
It is not being able to see what is happening.
It is not being able to stop it whenever you want.
That is not pain.
That is the feeling of being trapped.
[WHAT CHANGES IT]
Which is why this chair works better than I expected.
More space around you.
Less equipment crowding your face.
You can sit up more than you would think.
And we agree on a signal before we start.
You raise your hand, I stop.
Every time, no negotiation.
[LAND IT]
Freezing solves the pain.
It was never really the problem.
Giving you control back is what solves the rest.
