01:43I love going to the beach the beach is amazing I would describe myself as wild energetic
01:54but as a quadruple amputee everything's a challenge I've lost my legs below the knee I've lost my left
02:05hand and partial of my right hand and that's how it is that's how it is today
02:20day-to-day life is definitely hard it's not only hard on me it's hard on everybody around me my
02:27name
02:27is Ricky I am 31 years old and I am Danny's boyfriend I love him he's amazing he does so
02:35much stuff he does everything for me I want to do things on my own so when somebody has to
02:41do it for
02:42me it feels like your life is kind of being taken over my main goal is to be more independent
02:50that's my
02:52future goal met Ricky before all of this had happened we knew each other through friends but
03:01I never really spoke with him I was working out so I was posting a lot of workout videos I
03:11kept
03:15just sending her fire emojis on Instagram and then she sent me a fire truck yeah stop the fires
03:28our first kiss was at the beach I was nervous sweating my life was flashing before my eyes
03:40six years later we're here yeah
03:58Ricky my sister and I were going on a road trip to Colorado and I was actually feeling perfectly fine
04:04we got to her house and we were just hanging out everything was normal a couple days passed by
04:09and we planned to go on a hike and we get to the park and I felt like kind of
04:16weak like I felt like
04:18I couldn't breathe properly I can't move so that night it got a lot worse I started sweating I started
04:26getting heart palpitations I I couldn't breathe well I actually could barely even walk and I had kind of
04:34like a weird like rashy look to my body as soon as I saw her you know going gray blue
04:40lips and drove to
04:43the hospital as fast as I could it was the most frightening thing I ever had to do in my
04:47life I've
04:48been through a lot of things and I would never ever want to go through that again so that whole
04:59next
04:59day I was still not getting any better getting worse they put me in the ICU and my vitals everything
05:06was dropping and then they had to airlift me to a another hospital because they didn't have the
05:14resources there to help me all my organs were failing the helicopter paramedics were telling me stay
05:24with us stay with us and trying to keep my attention to keep me alive I looked down and I
05:31saw the lights
05:32of the town down there next thing you know everything went blank and this is the hard part to talk
05:39about
05:39because I saw kind of like a field that I was in I'm sorry and it was like the calmest
05:50feeling I've ever felt in my life
05:55and then that's when my heart stopped in the helicopter
06:11I remember standing by her bedside holding her hand and she pretty much dying in front of me
06:27while she was there in bed I kept telling her it's gonna be okay like Ricky and me are here
06:33for
06:33you and it wasn't until that night because she was going into an intensive care unit the last words that
06:40I said to her was hold my hand sis and I actually have it tattooed on my hand because it
06:48was the last
06:49thing that I got to say to her before all of this happened
07:05they call it necrosis I could barely feel anything my fingers were curled up and they couldn't move and
07:13they were black
07:17the doctor looked at me and she's like you know I have some pretty tough news and I don't think
07:21Danielle is going to understand it when it's coming from me
07:41so I walked in and I grabbed the bottom of her foot you're gonna have to let go of your
07:46hands and
07:46your feet at this point then it's the only way to save you because if you leave them it'll take
07:54you
07:59when I heard that I knew my life was changing and I was in shock and I started crying to
08:07my sister
08:08it was an overwhelming amount of emotion where I just didn't know what to think at that moment
08:35when I got the call that my daughter was in the hospital she wasn't very well I was panicking I
08:42took the
08:42next flight to to to the hospital and go and we'll see her yeah and when I got there it
08:49was just a heartbreaking
08:54this is the reason I want to talk about it because it makes me cry it brings me so many
08:59bad memories
09:03when I first saw that I no longer had my feet I broke down I broke down I felt like
09:11okay my life's over
09:29I do get mistaken for being white hey are you Mexican Latina you know and I'm like no I'm black
09:40all black
09:43my name is Curtis Thibodeau Jr I'm 37 years old nine years ago when my skin went through a transformation
09:49that affected me tremendously no skin color no fingernails no hair all of that was gone within a matter of
10:06months nine years later and I still feel damn how do you come back to the world and say hey
10:15I'm still a black man
10:25I was in a choir I'm always in a band I've gotten to sing in front of Southern University's band
10:30my life has always been involved around having fun or being the life of the party
10:35my skin color to me represents power I know exactly how powerful I am as a black man
10:43it's like my armor literally inside hiding all day and I was terrified wasn't letting anybody in
10:50I became a recluse
10:59I have this sharp pain from my hip if I sit down it's gonna be hard to get up
11:05anxiety is playing October
11:09every day every hour every second it's like a piercing pain or like a dagger that's kind of twisting
11:15it's hell I really hide away because of how I walk like I'm really embarrassed about it I just worry
11:25about people noticing I have this waddle like a penguin it's like his legs were messed up because
11:31of his hip because I caught a frog legs one time and it just stuck
11:35my name is Chelsea okay ready okay
11:36she's finished with the surgery
11:38yes
11:38I'm gonna make sure it takes all time to wait to
11:41TIRT
11:41mm-hmm
11:42I have been down and beaten and hidden away for a while today's surgery just thinking about it
11:50there's a lot of factors in place scared of surgery scared of mortality mentally it was a rollercoaster for me
11:58I'm worried about this surgery what if he doesn't heal right what if there's still a limb how do you
12:05fix that
12:10when I was younger I didn't really feel beautiful or attractive it's very isolating I'd want to like hide myself
12:17and be as small as possible so no one could judge me
12:20you know how you and she like it could like be better
12:32my name is Portia Sina I am 18 years old and I am currently a student my condition is called
12:40ichthyosis with confetti
12:51essentially it is a gene mutation where my skin is producing the wrong protein which is why it's red and
12:57you know it's just completely different than anyone else's
13:06the reason my skin condition is called confetti is because I have like tiny like little spots
13:12which is actually the cells fixing the mutation and turning back into like normal skin
13:17when I was young I've only had a few spots all over my body and now I have like a
13:22bunch
13:23and they grow throughout my life
13:29it's great to be home I'm very close to my family it's like my comfort zone
13:33you look beautiful today
13:36thanks mom
13:38let's see
13:40the skin lacks lipids which keeps your skin moist
13:43the skin around my eyes is drier so I don't blink as much
13:47which results in like my eyes watering
13:50my skin is usually worse in the morning
13:58morning
14:00I wake up and sometimes my skin will feel achy
14:04and so I'll take an average painkiller for that
14:07and sometimes it'll feel like itchy
14:12this is my cream lotion that I use in the morning
14:14when I do my morning routine I do my whole entire body
14:18it takes 30-45 minutes
14:22I would never skip my morning routine because that would lead to just horribly dry skin
14:27like I would not be able to move
14:29I would be so uncomfortable
14:33when I saw her for the first time
14:36I'd never seen a newborn before
14:38honestly didn't know anything until
14:39you know call it 10-20 minutes after we went into the recovery room
14:44and they came in and said
14:45you know those dreaded words a parent doesn't want to hear
14:48you know Mr. and Mrs. Cena
14:49there's something wrong with your baby
14:51all they said was her skin was sloughing off
14:54so we're going to put her in an incubator
14:57for me
14:58it was complete
14:59and utter shock
15:01the worries were very much about survival
15:04I was just hysterically crying
15:08it was a very crazy moment
15:10when she got her diagnosis
15:12which was around two or three weeks old
15:14they told us that
15:16this is a condition that she's just going to have
15:19there is no cure for ichthyosis
15:23any parent would have those kinds of thoughts
15:25about what's going to happen
15:26to her in the future
15:28and then Jolie had the thought of
15:30you know these normal milestones
15:32that your kids have
15:33like will she ever go to the prom?
15:35will she ever have a boyfriend?
15:37and your mind just kind of runs away from it
16:03my first thought about Ricky was this is going to be a lot of work and he was not going
16:08to accept this
16:09I didn't want him to feel forced to have to deal with this
16:14just kind of being like 24-7 caregiver
16:18it would be easier for him to just kind of walk away at that point
16:24I decided to become her full-time caregiver because she would honestly do the same thing for me
16:29there were no doubt in my mind that if she needed help I would be the one to help her
16:34I kind of knew that she felt comfortable with me doing everything I needed to do
16:40so I just decided to take on the full responsibility
16:48but I knew it was going to be hard
16:50things are going to get frustrating
16:53man
16:55there's no way anyone's ready for that kind of situation ever
16:59it really honestly hurts me to see him doing everything all the time
17:04and I always feel like bad
17:07I do worry about him getting like overwhelmed or tired or just over it
17:14there we go
17:15yay
17:17because he's doing everything all the time
17:19ready?
17:19ready
17:20doing things for Ricky by myself means so much to me
17:25is this like the perfect massager?
17:27yeah, I love that little nubby
17:28oh yeah
17:33yours not gets really
17:36nice
17:37nice
17:38better
17:39squeeze, squeeze everything
17:40my whole family was there
17:44yay
17:45oh good job
17:47good job
17:48just taking that first step
17:50it melted me inside
17:52and I just drop my head and I start crying
17:56these little legs are heavy
18:00out of nowhere this one decided she wanted to walk
18:03all the way out the door
18:05drop the leg people
18:06she's all I got my legs I'm out of here
18:11currently I'm just kind of doing one or two physical therapy days a week
18:16when I was walking it was very very painful at first
18:21I call them my lamberfitties
18:23or my chevro legs
18:25they're carbon fiber
18:29isn't it so much fun?
18:31it's so fun Ricky
18:32oh
18:33well
18:33maybe not
18:34you got it
18:43the goal is to be able to walk a longer distance
18:47and we do a lot of walking those days
18:49so those days I kind of like are the days that I beat my record
18:54or try to
18:56some days I don't
18:58some days I do
18:58I'm so hard on myself
19:00in my head I'm just constantly repeating like
19:02you need to beat that record
19:05the thing I remember most before I collapsed
19:08was my mom doing her best to get me into the car
19:11so we can get to the ER
19:14I've never been that scared in my life
19:18I
19:20it felt like I was touching death
19:32how you feeling?
19:34a little pain
19:35a lot of nervous
19:52today's surgery for me means a new start
19:55I'm just scared out of my mind
19:59hip replacements
20:01or Avast and Necrosis have some
20:04of their own specific risks and complications
20:06his condition has basically eroded his hip
20:09extremely unusual for someone in the mid-30s
20:12to have that type of problem
20:19Father God as we gather here today
20:21send me your healing angels
20:23and protect them in the mighty name of Jesus Lord
20:26Amen
20:26Amen
20:29I think the surgery is going to restore
20:31who Curtis was
20:32back to that personality
20:35that has kind of been trapped since 2017
20:47I'm at work and my colleagues told me that
20:50the area where the ingrown hairs
20:53had started to bleed
21:04the first initial signs were pain
21:06my lips were swollen
21:08skin was flaking
21:10the scalp underneath was very sore
21:13he just laid in my lap
21:15and I would oil him down from head to toe
21:19just to give him some relief
21:22I've never been that scared in my life
21:26it felt like a hot stove
21:29it's literally taking over my body
21:32this is one big rash that I could peel off
21:37once I got up you can tell where I had been sitting
21:41it felt like I was getting lighter
21:43that's how I felt right before I collapsed
21:47man
21:48goose bumps
21:58I remember a doctor coming in and he's like
22:00oh Mr. Thibodeau
22:01glad to see you
22:03your kidney and your liver was not functioning
22:06well I almost lost you for a minute
22:20DRESS stands for drug reaction with endosinophilia
22:23and systemic symptoms
22:26that almost took my life
22:34I was in hell
22:36for six seven months straight
22:38I was diagnosed with alopecia
22:41so I shaved my head
22:42but it was this one little spot
22:44it never fell out
22:46one day I was just like you know what
22:48it so I took a pair of tweezers
22:50I still think about the last survivor
22:55it's like I was saying bye to a friend
23:01we get to November
23:03we're diagnosed with vitiligo
23:05vitiligo is a disorder that causes the pigment in your cells to die
23:09and I was told that it'll be some pigment loss
23:12my pigment, my melanin was murdered
23:26I did the steroids were killing my hips
23:29the only way to treat this
23:31is with surgery
23:33it's like I'm dragging around a dead limb
23:35really because it's
23:37I can't do anything with it
23:39you know
23:41but surgery doesn't work
23:43where do we go now?
23:46see you later my baby
23:47love y'all
23:53I'm gonna try to cook Ricky a surprise meal
23:56and see how it goes
24:04I seriously love cooking
24:06like it's one of my favorite things
24:09this is actually like an adaptive knife
24:11for anyone that has gripping problems
24:15here we go
24:16so hopefully I don't chop anything else off
24:20I've never cut myself actually
24:22as I fling my knife around
24:26takes me a little longer than normal
24:28but here we are
24:32we'll try our best
24:34a few things that I'm worried about cooking this meal
24:36is burning myself
24:38let's put those bad boys in there
24:43let's do
24:45let's do that
24:46so it's really hard for me to like hold the pan
24:49and you know shake the pan around
24:51to move everything around
24:52and I always drop things
24:59ah! garlic attack
25:03I can't really wear oven mitts
25:04so it's very hard for me to cook
25:06with that kind of stuff
25:07so I mostly do like stove top
25:10just because it's level with me
25:13that's kind of like a few little things
25:15that I'm a little terrified of
25:16for sure
25:18I think the hardest thing about cooking
25:20is opening things on my own
25:23sometimes I have to do things with my teeth
25:29that's how things get done around here
25:42he likes his steak
25:43it's really well done
25:47oh
25:47I risk everything

29:17let's eat
29:19woo
29:21I got tired of hiding from family.
29:23I was terrified.
29:25Literally, skin is on fire.
29:27And I'm driving to work shirtless because-
29:30What?
29:31It burned.
29:31It burned so bad, like my skin was on fire.
29:33To wear clothes, yeah.
29:34It felt less of myself.
29:35I felt worthless, like I couldn't be the one
29:38that everybody loved.
29:39We love you, your kids have to show up.
29:41Yeah.
29:42We love you.
29:42We love you.
29:43A lot of my confidence come from you.
29:46You wouldn't have to be crying.
29:48Oh my god.
29:48I got one.
29:48I got one.
29:49Yup.
29:50That's hard.
29:51Damn.
29:52You've literally just been showing me how strong you are.
29:56Mm-hmm.
29:57And I love you.
29:57And I love to see you.
30:04Not being able to, you know, run or jig,
30:08it's what we call dancing down here,
30:10because we're in Louisiana.
30:12Jig just kind of, you know, celebrate, you know,
30:15who I am as a person.
30:16And that's a blow to an ego, you know,
30:19especially when you're used to being the life of the party.
30:22So I'm excited for that.
30:25Yeah.
30:25So are you dating?
30:31When I was younger, I didn't really feel a beautiful or attractive,
30:35so I would definitely like to gain confidence in myself.
30:44I was very, very shy,
30:46and I think it was very related to my skin condition.
30:49To be this shy was very isolating.
30:53T-O-R-T-I-A.
31:02I didn't really have a lot of friends in elementary school,
31:06and I sat by this, like, one kid.
31:09He was like, are you contagious?
31:13When I was in middle school,
31:15I would also, like, get, like, asked out, like, as a dare,
31:18because it's, like, wouldn't it be funny if, you know,
31:20you asked out, like, who would want to date her, right?
31:23It's very isolating.
31:25I'd want to, like, hide myself and be as small as possible
31:28so no one could judge me.
31:31It's, like, sad to, like, think about sometimes.
31:36Sorry.
31:37Okay. You all right?
31:38Yeah, I'm fine.
31:40It just, like, you know, you wish you, like, it could, like, be better.
31:49It's just a shame, like, that, like, younger me, like, had to, like, go through that.
32:05Are you recording?
32:08Never miss an opportunity.
32:13Wow.
32:16Were you just riffing the whole time?
32:17Yeah.
32:23I started playing the piano when I was five years old.
32:25It just made me feel, like, secure and safe.
32:29So my parents convinced me when I was younger to go out and perform.
32:34I performed at restaurants, at bars.
32:37I was in a rock band, in concert choir.
32:40When I'm performing, I feel more confident.
32:47It gave her something to be able to do and people to look at her
32:51for a reason that wasn't the ichthyosis.
33:03My younger brother, Miles, is 15 years old.
33:06I would say we definitely have a good relationship.
33:08I smoothed it out.
33:09It was all, like, crusty from her fingernails.
33:10We're food shopping today here with my brother.
33:14Yeah.
33:15Okay.
33:15Wait, is this shredded?
33:16I found shredded.
33:18Okay.
33:18He left.
33:20We don't talk about our skin condition, like, at all, unless we, like, you look really bad today.
33:25If my sister's looking a little crusty, I'll tell her to, like, put lotion on or both go upstairs and,
33:31like, put some lotion on to make yourself look, you know, less crusty.
33:36That's such a beautiful way to say it.
33:38No, wait.
33:39You're so dumb.
33:39No.
33:40I shoot an ace.
33:41I shoot an ace.
33:43No.
33:47When I was younger, like, when people would look at us or stare at us, Portia was very quick to,
33:52like, defend me or defend both of us.
33:54Because Portia was born first, she has to, like, go through everything first and I can just, like, fall behind,
33:59like, a clear path in front of me.
34:01It was not going to end if I keep playing because it was so stupid.
34:03You're actually so dumb.
34:04You're definitely counting cards.
34:05I didn't.
34:06I didn't.
34:06I trust.
34:07Portia's paved the way for me.
34:09That helped me have an easier life in school and in high school.
34:11It's nice knowing that, like, I, you know, was the first person who had to go through it, so Miles
34:15doesn't have to go through it.
34:16Because I wouldn't want anyone to go through, like, what I went through.
34:25Hi.
34:27Oh my gosh.
34:28How are you?
34:30How are you?
34:31I'm so happy to see you.
34:32Your hair looks so good.
34:34I met Malia of middle school.
34:36She brought me into her friend group.
34:37Your hair looks so good, too.
34:41I can, like, truly be myself around her.
34:43Oh, yeah.
34:43Here, let's go.
34:47Do you feel, like, any pressure, like, at school to, like, get a relationship?
34:51I feel like there is.
34:52When it, like, comes to, like, guys, like, I would say, like, I feel like most of them, like,
34:56judged you, like, on your physical appearance.
34:58You should feel good and confident with yourself and, like, the right people will come to her.
35:03Aw.
35:04Being able to move through the world happy and confident and successful with whomever walks
35:12beside her, you know, friends, our partner, you know, that's what we want for her.
35:18I definitely think that, like, there's someone out there.
35:21I would just love to have people all around me.
35:23I don't know. I just want to, I just want to be happy.
35:25I don't know.
35:26Just kind of continuing on the self-growth path and being with friends and, you know, just growing.
35:36With walking, well, the goal I've reached so far is 1,420 feet.
35:43We're kind of trying to beat that every time I go in.
35:46How many feet is that?
35:55Dad.
36:04Wow.
36:12This will be him seeing me walk on my own for, like, I think the first time.
36:18I'm ready to see you just walking without...
36:21Without anything?
36:22Without anything.
36:23Anywhere?
36:23Anywhere, yes.
36:24Through the stores?
36:24I know, me too.
36:27Oh, man.
36:29I hope I beat my record.
36:42Oh, man.
36:43This feels good.
36:45Staying comfortably now and enjoy, you know, just kind of being outside.
36:49I do. I love that.
36:50I haven't felt this good in, honestly, just up and down for a good six, seven years.
36:58He hid away for years.
37:00He did not want to go out of his house.
37:02I'm ready.
37:03I'm ready to dance on this bar with Curtis.
37:08And I'm just ready for him to get back to himself.
37:15The queen has arrived.
37:17Hello.
37:18What's up?
37:19Hey, y'all.
37:21It's nice seeing you all out.
37:23Maybe it's still time to shine.
37:25So, finally, Frog Legs has retired.
37:29And we can party now without worrying about what people think of us.
37:33We should do that, Thomas.
37:35My new legs.
37:35New legs.
37:36New legs.
37:37New frog legs.
37:38New frog legs.
37:39New frog legs.
37:39Hips don't lie.
37:41Baby, the clock is ticking.
37:43You need some churn.
37:46Oof.
37:46This is how you're coming.
37:47And the mates.
37:48No more excuses.
37:50It's time to get back out there.
37:53Oh, she's cute.
37:56She's cute.
37:57She's cute.
37:58Come on, what would you wait now?
38:00You are?
38:01I'm Curtis.
38:02Curtis Felicia.
38:03Nice to meet you.
38:04Nice to meet you.
38:05Julian.
38:05Yeah.
38:06What do you order?
38:08A spicy margarita.
38:09Spicy?
38:10Yeah.
38:10That's how you feel?
38:11Always.
38:12Oh, that's a draw.
38:15That's interesting.
38:16So, are you dating?
38:18Not at the current moment.
38:20Um, just a couple situations that I had to get over first.
38:23So, I was prescribed medication that took my skin color and my hair, so.
38:28Oh.
38:29I mean, I think it gives you extra cool factor.
38:34He's back.
38:35Back like he never left.
38:37That's the crowd pleaser of himself.
38:40Hi, how are you?
38:42He's got great energy.
38:44It's a confidence that was probably buried deep down for almost a decade.
38:49And to feel that again is just liberating.
38:52Oh, my God.
38:53Spread it, because I feel it through you.
38:55Appreciate you.
38:57I love you.
38:57My hugger.
38:59Check out your boy.
39:00Yeah.
39:01New legs.
39:02Yeah.
39:02See me in the storm.
39:04Curtis quit coming down in the menace pitch.
39:07Chillin' with the car and we got sin in this dish.
39:11Get up.
39:11Oh.
39:12Oh.
39:13Oh.
39:14Oh.
39:15The last time I stopped on the bar dancing was probably 2016, 2017.
39:20I haven't felt this liberated or this free.
39:23Kind of just, you know, move around, you know?
39:25I'm just so happy that Curtis finally coming out of his shell again.
39:29It's been so many years.
39:31Curtis back.
39:32Curtis back.
39:33I'm sorry.
39:34I'm all over the place.
39:35I'm so happy.
39:44I'm so happy.
39:46Hello.
39:48How's it going?
39:49Her record is 1,420 feet, which some people might not think that's much, but for anybody
39:55going through what she's going through, it's a tremendous amount of walking.
39:59Okay, ready?
40:00And not holding onto anything.
40:01No, no walking aids.
40:04No parallel bars.
40:05Just stand in front of me, please.
40:13That is good.
40:13Don't touch my bars.
40:15I won't touch the bars.
40:16I know.
40:17Oh God.
40:23You got it.
40:25That was really good.
40:27That was really good.
40:28That was really good.
40:28She will go to a point where she's completely exhausted, and then there's also a point where
40:34she's also like, I can't do this.
40:36Okay, hold on.
40:38Oh my God.
40:39How many feet is that?
40:431560.
40:44I did it.
40:58I feel like I'm making a ton of progress right now, and that's great.
41:03You know, we have our bad days that happens.
41:06We're going to figure it out together.
41:08I loved her before, but I didn't really know what true love meant.
41:15Until this really happened.
41:18Because you don't know how much you actually care for a person until something traumatic
41:23happens, and you have to be there for them.
41:26You know?
41:29I couldn't do life without her.
41:30She's my rock.
41:32But there's a lot of faith.
41:32You have to be there for some of us.
41:33If you stop walking in ,"I'm back".
41:36We are trying to feed it together.
