00:01 - 00:04
exposition. It was a beautiful afternoon and the air was
00:04 - 00:07
fresh. It was just another day I sat at my
00:07 - 00:10
desk working on the things to get into Cambridge University.
00:11 - 00:15
I graduated with first class honours for physics at Oxford
00:15 - 00:18
University, although it wasn't what my father would want.
00:18 - 00:19
It is something I enjoyed.
00:20 - 00:22
He desired for me to get into a career of
00:22 - 00:25
medicine like he was, but I didn't find any interest
00:25 - 00:25
in it.
00:26 - 00:28
It was toward midnight, and I wanted to meet up
00:28 - 00:29
with a couple of friends.
00:30 - 00:32
Remember those times when we would skip class and go
00:32 - 00:33
drive out of campus?
00:34 - 00:37
I said, As everyone left, You remember when we played
00:37 - 00:38
around in the field?
00:38 - 00:39
Brian said.
00:39 - 00:42
They made my college years fun and we used to
00:42 - 00:42
play in Oxford.
00:43 - 00:45
We talked about memories from the time I didn't care
00:46 - 00:48
for school, but I was young and I wanted to
00:48 - 00:50
live free rising action.
00:51 - 00:53
I went home with a smile on my face.
00:53 - 00:54
I was happy to be with my friends.
00:55 - 00:57
I put on my glasses on the table, but then
00:58 - 01:00
I stumbled and fell on the floor.
01:00 - 01:01
It was cold.
01:01 - 01:02
It was odd that I felt.
01:02 - 01:03
But maybe it was nothing.
01:04 - 01:06
The next morning I woke up and ate breakfast.
01:07 - 01:09
I felt uneasy and something didn't feel right.
01:09 - 01:11
I thought maybe that I was tired and I didn't
01:12 - 01:13
get enough sleep last night.
01:13 - 01:15
But it could be only it cannot be only that
01:16 - 01:18
I called my mom and greeted her.
01:18 - 01:18
Good morning.
01:18 - 01:21
I wanted to tell her about my feelings about the
01:21 - 01:23
feeling. But I am a grown man and should be
01:23 - 01:23
more responsible.
01:24 - 01:28
As a day passed, I started to fall more and
01:28 - 01:29
have become more clams.
01:31 - 01:33
I noticed that I've been coughing and have more muscle
01:34 - 01:37
eggs. I can't be this old to be clumsy, entire.
01:38 - 01:40
I had thought to myself it was time for my
01:40 - 01:41
mother to know.
01:42 - 01:43
Good afternoon, Mom.
01:43 - 01:45
Yeah, there is.
01:45 - 01:47
There is something going on with me and it doesn't
01:48 - 01:48
feel right.
01:48 - 01:50
I think I'm getting sick or may have a type
01:50 - 01:51
of disease.
01:51 - 01:55
I Mom replied, Worthy Stephen, you need to go to
01:55 - 01:55
the doctor.
01:56 - 01:59
These symptoms could be bad, and we need to know
01:59 - 02:00
for sure what's going on.
02:00 - 02:03
I began making an appointment and carry it on with
02:03 - 02:04
my day climax.
02:05 - 02:07
I have woken up to the beautiful sunshine and great
02:07 - 02:09
weather, Always relaxed and comfortable.
02:10 - 02:11
I did not want to get out of bed, but
02:11 - 02:13
I needed to know what was wrong with me.
02:14 - 02:16
I got up and got dressed and started to head
02:17 - 02:17
down for breakfast.
02:18 - 02:20
I continue to call and not see things on my
02:20 - 02:23
face. I was really concerned, but it was a good
02:23 - 02:24
thing My appointment was today.
02:25 - 02:26
I drove to the doctor's office.
02:27 - 02:29
Once I got there, I was sitting in the waiting
02:29 - 02:30
room. I was nervous, but I don't know.
02:31 - 02:31
Everything would be okay.
02:32 - 02:35
I hope Stephen, a nurse, caught out.
02:36 - 02:38
I quickly got up my seat and walked toward the
02:38 - 02:41
entrance. The doctor gave me a gun to change into
02:41 - 02:42
and told me to sit on the bed.
02:43 - 02:46
He looked closely at my face with the magnified and
02:46 - 02:46
notice spots.
02:48 - 02:51
You have symptoms that aren't normal and could possibly be
02:51 - 02:51
a disease.
02:52 - 02:55
I have to send you to a cardiologist, my doctor
02:55 - 02:58
said. I felt confused, but I didn't want to tell
02:58 - 03:00
my mother until there was something to worry about.
03:00 - 03:03
The next morning, I joked to the cardiologist, and I
03:03 - 03:05
sat in the waiting room with my hot, steaming coffee
03:05 - 03:07
and very delicious bread that they had out.
03:08 - 03:10
Everything felt fun until they come and name to go
03:10 - 03:13
in. The cardiologist looked at me and asked if he
03:13 - 03:14
could do a couple of tests.
03:15 - 03:16
I said yes, but I was kind of nervous.
03:17 - 03:17
After it was done.
03:18 - 03:19
He told me that he'll give me a call when
03:20 - 03:22
the results come back in a week passed by and
03:23 - 03:25
I was reading one of my favorite books and sitting
03:25 - 03:28
outside in the bright, shiny sun, light blue and light
03:28 - 03:31
blue sky, I got a call and and immediately answered.
03:32 - 03:33
Good morning, Mr Hawking.
03:33 - 03:36
You came in last week for a testing for testing
03:36 - 03:38
and I finally got your results back.
03:39 - 03:41
I'm sorry to inform you, but you have the disease
03:41 - 03:44
called ls This can affect the walking and talking.
03:45 - 03:47
And and you may have two years to live.
03:47 - 03:48
I am very sorry.
03:49 - 03:53
Following action, my heart job, my heart stopped and all
03:53 - 03:55
the sunlight and beautiful things came to darkness.
03:56 - 03:58
I couldn't believe what I heard and I trembled inside.
04:00 - 04:02
I sat down and 30 minutes later I called my
04:02 - 04:06
mother Mom, I've been diagnosed with a left and there
04:06 - 04:09
is a high possibility possibility that I'll be dying, dying
04:09 - 04:13
in two years, I said her silence was loud and
04:13 - 04:15
she had not said anything for to minutes.
04:15 - 04:16
She began to saw.
04:17 - 04:17
It hurts so much.
04:18 - 04:19
I still couldn't believe what was happening.
04:20 - 04:21
I decided that it was best for me to carry
04:22 - 04:23
on with my life and for me to stop living,
04:24 - 04:27
for not to stop living my life in the my
04:27 - 04:30
end with my end time was coming Soon resolution.
04:31 - 04:34
I am not 26 married to a beautiful woman.
04:35 - 04:37
I'm in a weirdo chair, slowly dying.
04:37 - 04:38
But I've been dying.
04:38 - 04:39
I've been living.
04:40 - 04:43
I've outlived my two years and hope to live for
04:43 - 04:45
more. I have a beautiful child and have been very
04:45 - 04:47
successful and maybe crippled.
04:48 - 04:50
But I'm working on things and still being great in
04:50 - 04:50
science.
