Past simple

You were both doing the work that you love.

And suddenly, everything 
that you had planned

well, maybe I just imagined 
getting this phone call.

I called her back, and 
that's when she told me

I knew that our lives were 
going to be a lot different.

PM: And when you arrived at the hospital,

what was the prognosis that they gave you

about Gabby's condition 
and what recovery, if any,

MK: Well, for a gunshot wound to the head

Every injury is different. It's not predictable

like often a stroke might be predictable,

So they didn't know how long
Gabby would be in a coma,

been an effort to create 
a new Gabby Giffords

GG: The new one -- better, stronger, tougher.

and come back strong 
and stronger than ever

that's as tough as my 
wonderful wife right here.

that recovery was not 
only going to be possible

but you were going to have some semblance

of the life that you and Gabby had planned?

Gabby was still kind of almost unconscious,

but she did something when she
was in the ICU hospital bed

and she flipped it from one finger to the next,

Didn't she surprise you with 
words in the beginning?

MK: Well, it was tough in the beginning.
GG: What? What? Chicken. Chicken. Chicken.

which isn't the best but 
certainly is not the worst.

it could have been a lot worse than that.

PM: Gabby, what's been 
the toughest challenge

MK: Yeah, with aphasia, Gabby
knows what she wants to say,

but the communication is just very difficult

the part of your brain where
those communication centers are

which is where the bullet passed through.

PM: So you have to do 
a very dangerous thing:

It might be some of the most
dangerous things I've ever done.
