Two Years Strong: Brotherhood, Health, and Hard Truths

Tyler:

Welcome

Danny:

to the Lost Boy Scouts podcast. Here we are. Special LBS General Hospital edition.

Tyler:

Yeah.

Danny:

Two year anniversary. Two year anniversary today. So today, I woke up this morning and I crossed my feet and said, would you like to add to this? And it had a picture of Lost.

Tyler:

Oh, cool. I was like, what the heck does that look like? And then I was like, I wonder if

Danny:

it's an anniversary

Tyler:

because I remember doing it around Yeah. March, February. I thought it was February Yeah. Originally. And so I looked at our podcast, it was like March 17, and I was like, Dang.

Tyler:

Yeah. And I was like, so I texted you, and I was like, Man, has it really been two years? And you're like, It's felt longer, you know? Because it has, it has felt like.

Danny:

It's been, and what a journey it's been. Okay,

Tyler:

so let's give some context. So, we're here, we are in LDS hospital.

Danny:

We're in LDS General Hospital, yeah. We're in the the leukemia and blood borne, patents you award. Those of you who have kind of followed along with the substack, you probably have some context if you're just watching the podcast. I received a kind of an urgent diagnosis, thanks to some jujitsu. We'll just go ahead and should I give the whole backstory?

Danny:

Should I send people in the substack? Or what do think makes the most sense here in that context of our conversation? So the the there were

Tyler:

some things going on. Yeah. Just a little bit of backstory. There were some things going on. I'm actually no.

Tyler:

I've been I noticed a couple of times where you're like, yeah, I'm just nauseous, Danny. Don't, you know, came to your house and we're gonna have a beer. Yeah. And you were like, I just, I feel nauseous, like, I'm not eating good. I'm like, okay, is emotions?

Tyler:

Is it like, just things that are going on that you're just in the moment? Is it is it what what is it, you know? Yeah. And and you were like, just I feel nauseous. And so leading up to Saturday, I remember having those conversations with you.

Tyler:

Yeah. And, you know, you go through those moments of the the day to day life and and remember to see, like, you know, because I locked off back of like, did I miss something? Right. Well, there are things that I was missing with, with what was going on. We would train and you'd be like, man, I'm a little out of breath today.

Tyler:

Yeah. A little out of breath today. Yeah. And so, then, like in Substack, you know, you you gave the the story, if you wanted like the whole the whole backstory of everything that's going on, I think that that's a good good place to go. Good place, just go to Substack and see that.

Tyler:

But what we noticed, what I noticed, and Tyler was bruising Yeah.

Danny:

On Saturday. Saturday Saturday was the opening of Tippany Timpanogos Jiu Jitsu Club. Yeah. Wanted to really get out and support Anthony, and it's just it's an amazing gym. It's gonna be such an awesome place for people to come learn learn the sport and I really wanted to support and, I knew I wasn't feeling 100% like I again that fatigue had had really kind of taken over at that point but it was the bruising after that that should have been probably the first red flag.

Danny:

I can go back and I can say yes and you'll notice if you go back and listen to Substack. Substack, know, that I do mention Monday I noticed bruising and bleeding as well but it was a little less concerning because of other just other other things going on other factors that I was maybe praying God a little bit on my own part just saying.

Tyler:

But as we go on, while we're in the hospital we we may have people coming in that we may need to turn this off and they'll just come back on. Well, we'll just

Danny:

roll through it. All my care facility here at LBS is incredible. They have asked for some privacy. They don't want their faces or their badges typically scanned. If I'm referencing my doctor or my care team, will probably just say like Doctor.

Danny:

M or Doctor. B. One of the reasons I was brought to this particular hospital is besides here in Huntsman, they are the best at this particular form of Leukemia. It is, from what I understand, it is a genetic mutation but is not a genetic pass down of Leukemia. They were pretty good in catching it in the blood work in Eber but they very quickly realised that they didn't have the staff or the skill to treat the blood.

Danny:

So they set the blood test down here which prompted me to get down here as soon as possible in kind of an emergent situation.

Tyler:

Yeah, Tuesday I was at work and you know you had called a couple times, I was like what the heck? Because you never really called a couple times, remember I was like hey. Is this should I call you back? You're like, yeah. Yeah.

Tyler:

You probably need call me back. Yeah. And it I when when I first got down the other day, was like, I wonder why LDS as opposed to Huntsman. Yeah. But it makes sense that you were at an Intermountain event.

Tyler:

Yep. And as long as they can do everything here, and like you said, that the doctors argue, we know what this is, we are going to be able to find I was here today when the doctor came in and gave us really, really, really positive news. Like he was super positive. He was like, man, we are doing what we're, this is doing what it's supposed to be doing. Your levels are doing what they're, they're normalizing.

Tyler:

And he's like, you know, adjusting some of your schedule of how you get things so you can sleep a little bit better. Yeah. So you can receive your medicine just in a more consistent because right now everything is okay on the kidneys, right? Yeah. But before we go on, I gotta ask you, is it okay for lights blinking on these things or should it be positive?

Tyler:

It should be solid. Yours is blinking.

Danny:

I think we're good because we're picking on up there so let's just roll with it and we're gonna get the audio we get and I think we'll be good between the three so

Tyler:

busy with the nervous. So then so so yeah we're we're when he came in today, was like awesome news, know. Yeah. And it is part of what he said is this is what the foreseeable weeks will look like. Of just being here in this room and it's, you know, you come into a hospital and I have these expectations of seeing she like attached to everything and seeing my best buddy, like just not how I normally would see, right?

Tyler:

I had some anxiety the day when I was talking to Preston and my family. But when I got here, was like, it's actually not what I thought. It's hospital feel for sure. Yeah. But you're in a different ward where, like, it's pretty quiet over here because of the severity of some of the things that go on here.

Danny:

I have a very, very unique form of leukemia, and I'm gonna pronounce it wrong probably every day until I until it's gone. Acute promoelectric leukemia. Promoelectric leukaemia. So it's still like APL. APL.

Danny:

We'll just call it APL. It is rare and aggressive but it's also one of the ones that they like they know how to treat. It has a ninety to ninety five percent early catch cure rate. They feel like they caught it pretty quick. I was still on the high risk of things but the way I'm responding to treatment so far and the fact that I was able to get into treatment and admitted so quickly that we've seen a lot of positives.

Danny:

But there's other people in this ward that have different forms and really what essentially leukaemia does is it shuts off your immune system. So it's, you know, my first risk was I was a bleed out and or blood clot risk that they had to treat that before they can get into the leukemia side of things. But then while they're doing that, you have to realize that, you know, you could get an infection or you could get some weird, you know, bug and that could actually be what trips things up and makes you worse rather than the actual leukemia itself.

Tyler:

Yeah, because your immune system is so compromised. Well, and so going back to like that Saturday when we noticed the bruises, that's the thing that you notice today. Yes. Is the doctor came in and he wanted to make sure there were no new bruises. Yeah.

Tyler:

And if the bruises hadn't got severe. Yeah. In my mind, I'm like, really? These things are severe. They are all over Tyler's body.

Tyler:

Yeah. They are they are very big. They are very black. They're very purple. They are very pronounced that there's some serious bruising.

Tyler:

Yeah. Especially like on your thighs and in

Danny:

your stomach.

Tyler:

Yeah. Where the first one that we noticed, yeah, look

Danny:

at the size If you can see past my PICC line here, obviously there's some trauma from the PICC line where they give the drugs, but they also was an IV, but like, this is because my blood isn't isn't clotting. And this is a good example of what's, you know, probably 50% of my body Yeah. Agreed. On my stomach. And and they weren't they weren't that big after rolling, but they were like color.

Danny:

The color was really what and if you look at this this the d day plus two substack pictures, have kind of your typical jujitsu pinch. You know, it gets black and blue, gets ugly from whatever somebody grab in, And then you have the covers of that is like this actual type of hematoma that it should have been an indication to go to the doctor right away.

Tyler:

Yeah. And that's one of those things like what we'll cover like eventually later on in the real day of just like that when to listen to your body and when to like really like go. Yeah. Because I think going back to what we've talked about before, just as men that we're not, we're not built to like go to the doctor every day. You know, you get bumps and bruises, you get your nuts start to hear, you know, your blood starts to hurt, you know, I ain't going over there.

Tyler:

Yeah. Come up. And that doctor touched my Yeah. Touched my nether regions. I remember one time, I had to go to the doctors.

Tyler:

So I go to because I've gotten a vasectomy, the little cord, the little clip kind of gets a little irritated. I've never had a serious thing, I've had some problems where like my balls hurt. Yeah, yeah. Like really bad. And I'm like, man, is going be a shutdown.

Tyler:

And like, you go to the bathroom every five seconds and you're like, what the world is going on? And you look up, you know, there's there's you can get an infection on the backside of your Mhmm. On the backside of that the vasectomy cut. Right? Then I go to Park City right before Jiu Jitsu because it was hurting pretty bad.

Tyler:

And I go to the Intermountain Medical in Park City. But anyways, I had to go get a check. Right? And and at first, he's checking me just doing the regular hernia check. Oh, yeah.

Tyler:

Turn good. Then he says, k. I am going to have to stick my finger up there. And I'm telling you, Tyler, I looked at his hands, and I said, you're not sticking those things. No way.

Tyler:

Look at the size of your hands. Yeah. And he was he's like, what? I was like, look at the size of your fingers, dude. You are not doing that to me.

Tyler:

And it was like it was so funny.

Danny:

Was it going in the front or in the back? In the back. In the back.

Tyler:

Okay. Oh, yeah. And he's like, well, we gotta check to make sure it's not something more serious like, you know, like, prostate or anything. Yeah. Like, look, dude.

Tyler:

Can you find somebody with, like, smaller fingers? Yeah. Somebody that needs smaller fingers. He thought that was the funniest thing. He thought it was funny, so he's laughing.

Tyler:

And I'm like, bro, I am not laughing. Like Yeah. That is not fun for me. Anyways, it it it it turned out okay. It's, like, really fast when I can see Yeah.

Tyler:

Yeah. They check you really quick. And, you know, I tell that story a lot of like, thinking like, that is how sometimes you get with doing checkups. Yeah. Because some things you're just like, oh man, I can't up down there today, shouldn't you?

Tyler:

And I've had that,

Danny:

the experience here is very vulnerable, right? And I've been blessed to be around some very compassionate caregivers who are very good at what

Tyler:

they do

Danny:

and even still, they're all fairly lovely ladies that, you know, I love to leave a sample for, and they want to, you know, check your poop and check your pee and, you know, follow them prompt them. But I think as men, we have a hard time just being vulnerable with that kind of stuff. But I think we're we're not vulnerable with our emotions. We're definitely not vulnerable with, like, our those type of those type of things.

Tyler:

We we go back to how you always say, like, you know, you're driving around with your dad, and dad's not asking for directions, right? He's just trying to figure out how to get there. No, I got this, but if you would've just stopped and got directions, it's the same thing, like, when you have ailments, right? Right. You're like, no, I think I could self diagnose this.

Danny:

It's a cold. Right? We would be the vices farm with our prostate cancer research. Men were more honest about what they're going Yeah.

Tyler:

No, it doesn't matter. So I think, like, the idea is to just always be aware of what's going on. Right? Aware

Danny:

of Yeah.

Tyler:

Aware of your body. The like I said, the bruising the bruising the bruising when Dan when Danielle seen it, she was like, that's Yeah. That is you need to get in, Tyler. I think that I think that at least triggered you to keep an eye on things.

Danny:

It was. And and to be honest, then there was the the bloody nose on Tuesday. I I Monday was obviously still fairly fatigued. Why bloody nose? Because when when Preston sent me like,

Tyler:

so Preston and I did the whole we're WebMD people. Yeah. I'm gonna go Google this. Yeah. But it says the bloody nose is like, that's a blood, like, because because your blood's not clotting.

Tyler:

Is that

Danny:

what you're Yeah. For me, it was because the my my blood wasn't clotting. But, you know, we lived in a pretty arid climate. Right? So bloody noses for me are not not uncommon, but it was the fact that it wouldn't stop.

Danny:

Like, all day was just kind of a thick ooze. It wouldn't would it would mean crust up for a little bit, but then, like, never I mean, it bled I got into the hospital Tuesday. I got here about 6PM, and it had been bleeding all day, and it still bled for the next two days while they're they're treating the blood to kind of clean up some of those those levels to get it to coagulate and that kind of stuff. So but it was luckily there was a a coworker reminding me that that was like, you gotta go or I'm calling the ambulance and

Tyler:

Oh, really? Yeah. You're going. Wow.

Danny:

Because I probably who knows? I probably would've gone home, know, because we're fixers. We stick a piece of toilet paper up in there and It's happened before? Yeah. Make dinner and, you know Move

Tyler:

on about your life. Mhmm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Danny:

Because some of things I was trying, like, they act they legitimately were were helping. Right? Somebody said, well, maybe you're anemic. You need a steak. Maybe you're we need a nine pill on this.

Danny:

Those things were helping, but, it wasn't until I got here and you see somebody like doctor m who has seen these type of things all the time. Her just she just lights up and she's like, let's go. This is what we're doing. Like, we're not even waiting. I was so amazed because the transfer of information from Intermountain in Heber to Intermountain down here in Salt Lake.

Danny:

It it felt very seamless even though it wasn't very I wasn't in the loop. The doctors were in such a loop that that she knew exactly what the course of of action was going to be.

Tyler:

Did they know did they know that you were on your

Danny:

way down? They did they

Tyler:

get heads up that they're like, hey, this person is coming here, and this is what we think. Yeah. This is what's presenting, and then they're ready for you. They've got the red carpet out, and it's the lights on and it's like, let's go.

Danny:

I wouldn't say that it was like a red carpet, but it was definitely they gave me a room they had a room number that I was supposed to they said go to EE East Floor, Eighth Floor East Building, 8 16, go check-in with the nurses' station. And I walk in and I was like, oh, Tyler's here. And it was like, yes, everything kind of kicked off.

Tyler:

Our our our medical sometimes you get they get bad raps, right? And then you have an experience like that and you're like, nope.

Danny:

And they ask it. It was and it was a pretty it was very positive from from the kickoff. Like, the the transfer of information, the way the nurses care, way that they present treatment, the way they work with you, way it's not like it's scary, right? I've never been in this type of situation before, but like nurses that are here, are very sober and compassionate. You know, they're aware of the situation.

Danny:

They don't they they're not just working on it with me, but they've years of experience in in this kind of compassionate care, and and they're they're adjusting things on the fly and, you know, they listen. And I think that's the part of the vulnerability we've just got to be okay with. I think I told the first three nurses I had one to bathroom for it. Four weeks, you won't see me poop. Weeks, promise it.

Danny:

Most people don't want to. Yeah, yeah. Alright. Thanks. You're welcome.

Tyler:

Thank you.

Danny:

Appreciate you. Anything else? Nope. We're good. See you guys.

Danny:

See you. Yeah.

Tyler:

So the the it it is hard. It is hard to to adjust, like, just this just this last five minutes of this. Come in and do this while you and I are talking. Yeah. There's no, she doesn't even waver.

Tyler:

Yep. You know, and we're lucky to be around a lot of first responders, lot of military, a lot of medical background people in our in Jiu Jitsu, just in our little community. And they have the same kind of like, caregiving, like, feeling about them. Yeah. Like Doctor.

Tyler:

Doug and that people. Yeah. Jesse. Yeah. You All the military guys that we train with, they're like genuine people, right?

Tyler:

And so, I think for all intents and purposes, could you have went sooner? Of course. Sure. Could we could we have could we say that? Yes.

Tyler:

But does it change the outcome? No. Doesn't change that. Does it change anything? Maybe you would have been here a couple days prior.

Tyler:

You know? But it doesn't change anything. Maybe in that moment, you know, there was something else that came up that God had a different plan for that day. Right. Right?

Tyler:

And so, now that you are here, we got the doctor that came in, I think we just talked about this, that he gave such positive, positive feedback about what's going to happen in the next little while. And reality of it is, is that this is just a small moment. Yeah. And a big picture, right? It's just a small moment of your life.

Tyler:

And while we make adjustments and I don't get to see it every day, can't see it every day, can come here and hang out and the kids are with great. Yeah. They're with they're with their mother who loves them very dearly. Yeah. And your mom's here who's we need

Danny:

that number. She's she's amazing. Yeah. My parents are close by and I mean, it's amazing this kind of like, you don't want to throw clout on this for the sake of the podcast. This isn't how I wanna advertise, but, like, there there are people that care.

Danny:

I've woken up to hundreds of messages of people checking in on you. You know, I am going to be in the hospital for the next, you know, thirty days. Right. Right. If we if we go back to Tuesday, right, Tuesday evening will be a full week this coming Tuesday, it's now Sunday.

Danny:

You know barring some some sort of additional miracle or something like that, right, I will be here and and so my worry is will that trickle off in the end, I don't think it will, but like it's cool to see how many people just kinda come out of the woodwork that are rooting for you. But take care of yourself, man. Like, I I could see there was a definite path on Tuesday where I could have said, no. I'll just sleep. I'll go back to sleep and who knows?

Danny:

You know? I could have bled out and were at a blood clot in my sleep with my kids sitting there or something really terrible could have happened if I had not listened

Tyler:

to people that knew more than me. Yeah. Intuition and just being like, know what? I'm gonna go get this. Yeah.

Tyler:

Because that whole post was pretty ominous. I got a couple phone calls and really Yeah. That everything okay with Tyler? Because that post was honest.

Danny:

It was like, first, I'm like, this is just being funny. I I didn't realize, like It

Tyler:

was very honest at the very end.

Danny:

At the very end, when I was like, well, that shit escalated quickly, I didn't really know how to handle it from there because I'm I was thrown in it. Like, it went from literally, I'm showing my wristband. I'm at the urgent care thinking he's just gonna, you know, powder my nose or whatever a little bit and tell me to to man up or throw some sawdust on. Yeah.

Tyler:

Now you're fine. Yeah. No. But you just think of cotton Yeah. All up your nose.

Tyler:

Yeah.

Danny:

Yeah. It we had literally went from, you know, zero to 120 in in two hours, and so there wasn't he was trying to figure out, and then once you're in the middle of the treatment, you're like there wasn't like a, like, put up a a post, right?

Tyler:

I had to figure out,

Danny:

like, okay, how do I how do I disseminate this disseminate this information? So I'm getting good accurate information, but I'm, you know, I'm not I'm not just trying

Tyler:

to chase clout. And you're not like, you also don't believe like people hanging either like Yeah. It's really hard to be to to to have put I mean, of course, like the the fur like you said, the first post of like, let's see what's going on here. Yeah. Yeah.

Tyler:

What is funny. Right. And then you realize the severity of everything. Yeah. This is not funny anymore.

Danny:

The joke. The joke, yes.

Tyler:

In the moment, it's still, it was still just just teasing it.

Danny:

I know. And I definitely think I could have taken that doctor, the first doctor. For sure. For sure. Yeah.

Danny:

He attacked. Nice. He attacked.

Tyler:

Yeah. And, so now we we we yeah I mean like that that was the whole idea of this hope is to give everybody an update to never to never falter to always stay consistent with what we're doing even through the toughest of times which you know, in all reality, intents and purposes, this may not be the toughest thing that that we go through or that you go through. There could still be Yeah. There could be more on the horizon, but we always take that ability of, like, this is just a moment of life, you know, that next the the greatest thing is not has not even happened to us yet. The greatest thing in our lives has not even happened yet.

Danny:

Right. I think the the interesting thing is too, right, we face we've I faced mortality losing my brother, but it it it ramped it up a little bit level. Okay. Now this is my mortality, but there's a little bit of separation there. But at the same time, like, okay, I do remember being very emotional, kind of welling up thinking about my children.

Danny:

I distinctly remember having a kind of a that two wolves thought. Oh, yeah. Right?

Tyler:

You know? Which one do I feed? Which one do I feed?

Danny:

And I have this, like, distinct picture in my mind of my youngest standing in front of the door when she's little, not wanting me to leave for work and she's standing there and it was a very kind of clear analogy where I'd already heard this 95, 90 percent, like, we're not even gonna think that. And yes, there's there may be some miserable times ahead, I don't know, I'll be honest, I've been very impressed with how easy it has been so far and knock on wood, like, it'll continue to go that route. There was one night where I was like things are beeping, I'm uncomfortable, I'm new to all of this, I'm not sleeping, I got a headache and I could see my brain, okay I'm routed back at that intersection again, I'm routed back even though I've even though I've seen this person and just standing in front of this door that I'm not supposed to go down. This is going to be a daily choice to to not even think about that. We're gonna feed we're gonna feed the positive.

Danny:

We're gonna feed the not gonna be toxically positive. We're gonna realize there's gonna be days where it's it's sick and slow and it's okay. Yeah. Slow down. Slow down.

Tyler:

That'll be

Danny:

But don't feed that. Don't feed that. You've lived the hard life. You know? You just lost your brother.

Danny:

You just you've had all these hardships. This could be your just become that 10%. It would be would have been very easy to just say that this is it. I'm so tired. I'm so exhausted.

Danny:

Let's just feed that maybe and mark it up. But that's not I I didn't feel like that was that was the conversation I was willing to entertain with this personage. This picture stuck in my mind. This person I wanted to get out that door.

Tyler:

And surrounding yourself with people that build you up is key to you, right? Yeah. Because like man, you bring in, you know, you don't have that community that you would, that you've built or the people that you have in your life now that you've, sometimes you have to cut people out of your life in order to have a positive life. And it's nothing against them. It literally is nothing against them.

Tyler:

Yeah. It's just that they're not serving you a purpose right now.

Danny:

Yeah. So funny. I just I just clipped a caption from Jobo being said something just very much like that. Like, you have to be okay. It doesn't matter who they are.

Danny:

If they're not adding to it, if they're attracting, take

Tyler:

the take the printers out and print. And so as we, know, just because the kids are coming down, we don't want to like stick me here, we could talk forever. You probably could. These kind of things, right? Yesterday we had a belt test, which was amazing, you know, to see some of these people persevere the way that they have.

Tyler:

I'd like to give a real big shout out to Loi. Loi is a young a young woman who's who's just a couple years ago was in a very, very rough place, very rough place. And she has persevered. Jiu Jitsu has helped her immensely and the way she tested yesterday was awesome. They surprised Zach and Spencer yesterday that they didn't even know they were gonna be testing and they tested for their purple belts with everybody doing the blue belt stuff.

Tyler:

And, you know, those dudes, they started out a little cold and then that when they hit their stride, they really hit their stride. And then Grant, of course, like Grant, man, knocked it out hard. Good. I'm still Who ended up

Danny:

in the game for him?

Tyler:

Will. Did Will? Dude, Will was his partner. Yeah. And he threw Will around.

Tyler:

Will made him look so Will made him look amazing. Good. We've talked about Chris Langel before. Yeah. Yeah.

Tyler:

He his partner was tripped, and he threw tripped a couple times. Tripped walking around a little gingerly today. That's good fun. It was fun. And then big Dan got

Danny:

a couple I was so stoked to see that. I love that guy. Could not be a bigger heart than Jim.

Tyler:

Talk about like, finally. Yeah. You know, you see that guy finally, like, yeah, duh. Yeah. Yeah.

Tyler:

He's been a purple belt. Like, feels like he's been a purple belt for a while, you know. Yeah. And a professor had really good stuff to say of, like, why, you know, like, just the way they look at things and stripes and belts, like he always says, so that people don't get discouraged, you know. They presented Anthony with a big poster Oh, cool.

Tyler:

Of the black belts, Mike's black belts, the one that we have on the wall. Nice. You know, it makes you longingly, like, man, I can't wait to be on that level of back belts, you And they talked about, like, just, you know, supporting Anthony and and being there for Anthony and, like, wishing him all the best and how he's gonna now be instead of a jujitsu teacher, he's gonna be a marriage counselor, a therapist. Because, you know, he's gonna do all these other roles that Yeah. That the gym owner requires.

Tyler:

And it was really cool. Like, he was, you know, he was stoked because it's where, you know, his home home is there. Right? It's just an extension of of life over in Hemer now, you know. And I and I did I didn't realize, like, how close the Gracie Barra is to you drive past Anthony's Yeah.

Tyler:

To get you would have to drive past Anthony's to get to the Gracie Barra. Yeah. So Anthony said he's gonna, like, just throw a bunch of Chichihitsu stuff along the street so that Yeah. People can turn in there. And, You get excited for those guys and it feels great to be a part of that community.

Tyler:

While we've only been doing this for, it seems like longer than two years, but this is our community as well. Absolutely is. You know, and the people care. They want to know and they want to see what we're going through and this is it. We live our life, you know, for all intents and purposes behind a camera sometimes and behind a microphone sometimes and we put it all out there we don't don't sugarcoat very many things in our in our life because we want it to be real we want to be authentic yeah and this is as authentic as it gets

Danny:
