“Right, aphasia means you can't put words together or you have a harder time. Sometimes I was rendered mute actually somewhat. And then also garbled language. Sometimes it comes off as mine came off, like that kind of stuff. Like I was speaking another language. It's also called dysphagia.

“Me too Right. Which is a hole in your heart just for people, which many people I've gone out with have told me that emotionally speaking. But no, I'm teasing. It's a joke. But it's a hole in your heart that doesn't heal. What happens is you have it when you're a baby, when you're born, and it closes up. The flap closes up and people that have PFOs, they do not.
