Good Morning and welcome to surviving life with Dustan Jackson. Do have the strength to do what I want lately I find myself tested more often now. I don't know if i m really that uncoordinated or i really don't pay attention to much around me . I find little things happening to me that cause frustration, i find myself getting upset with myself. is it because I'm thinking about the future?, maybe its a little though of what i cant do?, sometimes it will be as simple as i cant hold the drink I'm carrying so it slips and falls out of my hand cause my nerves are not the same anymore. To explain what i am talking about is the little things that i used to not have affect my life is affecting me a lot now. I have been having hand cramps and shooting pain on the right and left side of my body, the weird part is your body mirrors your injury, at least it feels like it does. Ill get these strong shooting pains down the right side of my arm. the arm that is not injured, I also get them down the left which I hope is my nerve waking up. But i feel like my body mirror the injury. The nerve surgery was my 4th surgery and it was meant to put my body back together and give me 60% of my arm back ;and it has not come back yet. and these are results of what is happening to me. I think to myself why is my right arm hurting, to tell you the feeling' it is a shocking pain right were my injury is, but on the right side. Its like 3-4 sec shooting pain and I think that my body is mimicking the way it is feeling on the left side, but cant send the signal cause the nerve is dead so it reflects to the right side. that's just my theory. I realize I have not explained my in detail my injury to you here is an example of what it feels like in my left shoulder. Imagine a wall around your shoulder on the inside of your body t is a perfect circle where the nerve is shut off It just does not work you try to think about it an you just Feel the dead sensation there. when I stretch it and move it with help it feels like there is blood rushes into it and it will feel normal for a second but you still cant move it. then the blood rushes out and the walls come back up. It is the weirdest injury i have ever had now for me i have had 14 broken bones so I'm no stranger to recovery. but this takes the cake in reconfiguring your body. With this injury it has shaped a different future in my life it changes what i can do on a day to day basis, and test my patients in little actions. This injury is allowing me to build a mental strength I did not know I had. Thanks for following please subscribe to our channel and we will keep you updated as we go along.

Good Morning, Welcome to Survivng Life W/Dustan Jackson I was out of town sorry I did not write anymore we travel a lot for softball so if your not close with me we have a softball lifestyle I will talk more in depth about that on a different blog cause it does affect my family not having an arm to play. Today I want to go over something I am reading I have been reading a new book called atomic habits by James clear and honestly guy its a good book i recommend any one get it they are looking to increase there good habits to there bad ones or if your looking for growth he has a nice perspective through psychological reasoning with the mind. He points out about believing in your self . So how did creating a habit become about believing in oneself. The best part is it is something that we all can do it every Person in here can believe in themselves even the Person that has nothing in life but here is where we start. I like the saying that goes over you. As soon as you believe it to your core only then will it manifest. So in turn in anything that we want in life and as I apply these principles in my life to change small things to help me and my son be better. We are applying small habits in our day to day. but the key is to really believe that you are what you want to accomplish. To go over in more detail look out for the book Surviving Life W/Dustan Jackson And don't forget to believe in yourself.

Welcome to Surviving life W/Dustan Jackson. Today we will talk about the first night that I could not sleep because of my shoulder. Now I know it has been months since my injury and that it has actually been almost 9 months, 3/4 of the year since my shoulder has not been working. To give you an idea why this has only started to bother me now, and why it was not so prevalent in the beginning. You have understand my past. Why mentally last night i had anxiety so bad I could not sleep, The thoughts were so bad it scared me awake. What I was thinking about the thoughts that went through my head is how I cant use my arm anymore. how it affects what I will do with my kids. Why is this only bothering me now. When I was younger I spent a lot of time in extreme sports this being the case it has caused some major injuries over my life. I have had broken bones and other major injuries So mentally I was prepared for the recovery. So why does it affect me now? I feel like I am past my recovery date I feel like I should be getting my arm back so the fact that I am not getting any movement back it scares me and it really starts to sink in that I don't have a left shoulder anymore. It was thoughts of things that I would never be able to do again. sports with my kids really started sinking in. It made me think of how I cant work anymore and what am I supposed to do how do I take care of my family,what will I do in 10 years with my shoulder the way it is. What will I be able to do life is really forcing my hand. I have already had the surgery's they have done all they can with modern medicine and my arm is still injured so now is this what i have to accept. I'm not ok with that being that my bones grind every day in my shoulder it hurts and I cant use it anymore.

Welcome to survivng life with Dustan Jackson. Where we talk about dustans story and others and what is going on in the day to day Today we are going over a sit down with a production company. Good Morning Everyone how are you doing today, My name is Dustan Jackson and I have a fun story today, as most of you know i was mugged in Mexico and that we have posted about doing the documentary on kick starter and other platforms. I am working with the man as you know as Aaron Cox he has been with me since the beginning of this adventure so after the story going public on the news we have had a couple oppurtunitys come out of it. one of those being an connection is Eric. Eric is a producer that has been in quite of few films we had to looked him up on Imbd. It shows that eric specializes in reality T.V. it also shows over 50 films being produced by him. 4 that were nominated for awards. It shows that he has done a lot of work with MTV and MTV 2 and has buit his own company content23. So how the conversation went is they start off with what you call a pitch agreement what that is a 2 page contract with them asking to go pitch your story to a network or film maker or someone who would be interested in the story. Hopefully they dont steal the story What they are offering is the want to make a pitch deck. A Pitch deck that is like a resume for your film or documentary it is something for the network to look at and decide if they want to buy it. So with my story they are wanting to develop the pitch deck and take it to a network to see if they can get someone to bite. This is not final agreement this is just giving the the opportunity to sell it. But you do want to have someone interested so this can be advantageous for the client as will to get there story out there. So it starts here So now we have this in place we take the next steps in giving them permission to pitch and follow to see what is next.

Welcome to Surviving life with Dustan Jackson. (The Mugged in Mexico Story and others.) Good Morning how are you today.

So I will be showing you from my point of view what it has been like figuring things out with my shoulder cause there are a few things in the world that I just cant do anymore and to be on the liter side of things I want to try and show you the funny side of this inconvenient injury. As my wife would say you went from being my handy husband to my handicap husband. ha ha ha ha So to start off I want to say I do come across new things each day that I cant do when I first started recovery i could not even type on a keyboard thank goodness I can do that now. But to give you an Example I could not pop a sit the other day on my forehead was trying to look up in the mirror while trying to lift my left arm up to get to it and I Could not do it.

Welcome to Surviving Life W/Dustan Jackson, we are sharing my story(Mugged in Mexico) and others of survival and after. This article goes over a consultation phone call with a lawyer about the documentary. So the other day I had an interview with a couple producers/agents that are interested in taking my film to a production company, Weather it be a tv network or a film company, we had the first talk the other day. This is why i decided to tell my day to day operations. Something happened that was out of my control and so I had to let it play out and clean up the pieces after. What happened is I decided to call a lawyer after this phone call with the producers/agents and not any lawyer a entertainment lawyer but one here in Utah. I wanted to make sure that I understand the agreement they are sending to me. I'm not in this entertainment industry so I want someone who knows what they are looking at when it comes to production contracts and what is industry standard for those agreements. But keep in mind as I tell you this story that just because you are in a educated position does not make you a smart individual. I wont state names for the sake of the person but this is what happened after I had a consultation call with a lawyer. it can kinda be funny when you look back on it We talking on the phone for maybe 10 min when He first asks me to send over the contract so he can take a look at it, so i do. At this point he looks at it and states that there is not enough for him to understand he will need to ask a few questions to the person I am working with. I say ok and give him the number. Not thinking anything of it i mean he is a lawyer he is paid for professional advice, I should be able to trust what he says right? I in turn proceed to text the guy I am working with and say hey a lawyer is going to call you to talk about the agreement. little did i know i was wrong. I get this text back almost immediately stating GREAT!!! just like that. So now in my head I'm thinking O boy what just happened. All the sudden i get a text from the lawyer and he says call me i'll tell you my thoughts. So now I'm curious to what happened. What happened in matter of 10 min where both guys are up in arms over a consultation phone call. So I call the lawyer and he first admits I need to call a California attorney, he says they want to tie your story up for a year and no promise to you why they try and shop around to sell it. So I take his advice and get off the phone to call a California attorney. So what happened? And did he blow the deal? Can he blow the deal? Now I hear the other side of the story, and why we say not all educated people are not always smart. I speak to the person I am working with on my story. He Proceeds to tell me that the lawyer calls him up and immediately and is yelling on the phone using words like my clients this and that. Now I wish I would have heard the story. But I only know they tell me but that would have been funny to hear how they were talking and don't get me wrong I do want an advocate that's not how I would handle myself but I guess I'm at that age were even those dummy's in school have grown up. What he does not realize is he just missed out on what could have been a great relationship but because he didn't know what he was doing he embarrassed and made a fool out of himself. Life lesson first of all I'm telling this story so we can bring back humanity, so be kind and please rewind your thoughts and make sure your treating others the way you want to be treated, and handle yourself accordingly. I know I can be better' I will also be doing video blogs and podcast so follow us with other stories' on all platforms on our home page at www.dustanjackson.com (Mugged in Mexico)
