Tory you are one amazing man I admire every thing you accomplished in the past 20 years. You are a fighter 💪 ❤️ and a beautiful man with a heart of gold I will continue praying 🙏 for God speed healing 🙏 ✨️ ❤️ I love you 😍 and miss you my dear friend God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️
Glad to hear you are getting better. It's quite a nightmare to think about and I hope research will give us more insights very soon on how to prevent DCS in freediving in the first place. The way I understand it by now the risk factors are not yet known well enough and include repetitive shallow dives too, so this is important for everyone, not only the deep divers.
You’re absolutely right, and that’s exactly why I’m putting so much of my time and energy into creating these videos. I want to share everything I’ve been through and all the lessons I’ve learned along the way. Before my previous incident, diving this deep into the subject matter just wasn’t an option-I was fully focused on training and making progress. At depths I was diving, it takes a lot of effort and focus. Now that I’m on the sidelines, I’m excited to take the opportunity to give back and let people in on everything I’ve discovered. Thanks for the support-it means a lot! 🙌
Hi Bro, I don't know how I got to your channel by Accident but this gave me hope, it has been 6 months for me after my surgery (removal of tumor in my cervical spine C5-C7) surgery went well but the Neuro Surgeon was baffled why I cannot walk, 90% of my body is numb except for my left hand which can feel and move, the doctor suggested I needed PT, I can only walk slowly on a walker till now with assistance. With any surgery even most planned ones, there are risk and dangers Your video really gave me hope, in my brain I always think I can walk but my legs don't agree since they are numb, although I can move them, I need to visually see to move it and place it properly in order not to be twisted, I always practice everyday even without a PT. When you had your condition prior to walking is your body parts numb also or just weak? You have recovered faster than myself now. I really hope in the next coming months I can walk without assistance from others.
Yeah, more specifically, none of my body parts were numb, but my entire left side was non-existent in strength, and once I started to regain ability, entirely weak. Even six plus months later, I’m still incredibly weak.
After my stroke I tried to get up in the middle of the night, forgetting I couldn’t walk, and face planted on the cold, hard hospital floor. I was messed up on morphine because of the horribly painful spasticity and I completely forgot I was paralyzed on the left side. I know all about how surreal it feels. My brain wouldn’t let me think about it like you did enough to document my progress. I really wish I had tho. My family reminds me how far I’ve come when I have really down days. I’m walking with an orthotic, it’s just my foot that hasn’t reconnected with my brain yet. I still can’t believe this happened, so I totally relate to what you’re saying in this video. Falling down hard happened frequently, so much so that they put an alarm on my bed so I couldn’t get up on my own. I felt like such a child, it was awful. My knee hyperextending is still a problem sometimes. So hard to get your hamstring strong again. Everything you’re talking about is exactly what I went thru. Thank you so much for sharing! I’m going to share this with my family so they can get an idea of the process. 💪🏻🙏
Damn, I truly appreciate your comment, and knowing that you've experienced some of the same turmoil I have, Because God knows how tough it's been. So I really appreciate your comment, and stepping forward, because knowing I'm not entirely alone in the experience of this very individual journey, makes it slightly easier. Stay strong, and I'll try to do the same. Remain patient, even though we don't want to. And remember how far we've come, because it’s all we got right now
You're an amazing human Tory! Always have been and always will be. I'm sorry that you had to go through this and are still going through this. Thank you for sharing the beginning of this journey with us. When you are back in my area please lmk how I can be of assistance 🙏🩵 Big hugs & future dances!!
Hey Tory, thanks for sharing. As someone who has been injured twice seriously, I have shared your feelings,fears and thoughts thoughout the whole video. The part about dancing made me a bit emo because one of the things I was concerned was my super silly home dancings. You are a warrior and you will continue to be. 💪🏼💪🏼🦵🦵I believe in your potential to recovery everyday.
Thanks for sharing Tory. Pretty hard journey. I know you explained on instagram what and why this happened. Are you going to create a video on RUclips explaining how elite athletes could avoid this nightmare? Your DCS has been pretty severe nonetheless other degrees of it could be a pain in the arxe as well. Are you coming back freediving?
@@torygeorgeI understand. The truth is that hyperbaric chambers aren’t that close to the diving locations and in remote places where hospital infrastructures aren’t necessarily at the best standard suitable for quick intervention. I don’t know where your accident has taken place but for sure this is an additional element.
Thanks for sharing an awesome story, stay strong physically & mentally! 🤗
Huge improvement 🎉. Thanks for sharing
Inspirational!

Are you coming back freediving?
Yes i will make a video on the DCS specifically
The idea of diving deep again is on the table but not necessarily considering it until I'm fully recovered and i get more tests done.

Decompression sickness has nothing to do with freediving, right?
It happened to me while freediving, so yes it can. I will make a separate video explaining how it happened
Of course it does.
