[games_access] from RobertFlorio speech thank you. Recovery.

[Robert Florio]

Thank you everyone so much with the sig.  I had autonomic dysreflexia after
my spinal cord injury things like building pressure in my bladder and in my
colon was so severe killer headaches lethal blood pressure.  Diagnosed with
FOS (full of S...).

It was such a terrible pain I was happy to be at the hospital from September
20 got out the 28th discharge just-in-time wealthy enough because I told my
doctor I wouldn't do that speech at Baltimore University of Maryland games
for health conference which I've made.  It was amazing I have it recorded so
sorry Michele couldn't make it go to have numbers but I left her messages I
hope she's doing well look forward to hearing from you so much.

I'll have to give you a report but it was amazing the response from everyone
even people from England three people asking great questions on my video let
me know the best way I can let you all see it?  Of course it will be in my
documentary.

I wish I could talk to you more but I'm resting up as much as I can have
found a new rejuvenated more than I already had again from my first injury
10 years ago strengthening my faith in Christ and my passion for game design
accessible gameplay.  I came out of four walls and went into another room
with four walls to give this speech but I felt so liberated their everyone
was listening to what I had to say and never had that experience like that
before and I wrote my speech two days before hospital visit and showed my
video news clipping and basically all the knowledge I learned so far about
accessible gameplay and our sig, about our book and much more.

Actually the symptoms of my dysreflexia started almost immediately September
13 the pain just wouldn't go away without painkillers now I cleaned out my
trying to recover my brain from the pain that still triggers sometimes.  Not
intense but uncomfortable.  Thank you everyone so much for your friendship
allowing me to be a part of something great I know it's going to come
together soon.  Our goals will be realized and achieved and beyond.

I'm actually going to ask Ben Sawyer since the few people in my session
truly one of my speech to the part of larger speech keynote speakers they
felt everyone in here and was very eager to get everyone involved to make
these things come true.  One quote from the audience was, "this is
absolutely fascinating and loves what [I'm] doing (we are doing)."
