  2:39

  MK: Well, the first thing, for me, was Gabby was still kind of almost unconscious, but she did something when she was in the ICU hospital bed that she used to do when we might be out to dinner at a restaurant, in that she pulled my ring off and she flipped it from one finger to the next, and at that point I knew that she was still in there. PM: And there were certain words, too. Didn't she surprise you with words in the beginning?

  3:08

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

  3:14

  MK: Yeah, that was it. For the first month, that was the extent of Gabby's vocabulary. For some reason, she has aphasia, which is difficulty with communication. She latched on to the word "chicken," which isn't the best but certainly is not the worst. (Laughter) And we were actually worried it could have been a lot worse than that. PM: Gabby, what's been the toughest challenge for you during this recovery?

  3:42

  GG: Talking. Really hard. Really.

  3:47

  MK: Yeah, with aphasia, Gabby knows what she wants to say, she just can't get it out. She understands everything, but the communication is just very difficult because when you look at the picture, the part of your brain where those communication centers are are on the left side of your head, which is where the bullet passed through.

  4:06

  PM: So you have to do a very dangerous thing: speak for your wife.

  4:10

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

  4:16

  PM: Gabby, are you optimistic about your continuing recovery -- walking, talking, being able to move your arm and leg?

  4:25

  GG: I'm optimistic. It will be a long, hard haul, but I'm optimistic.

  4:33

  PM: That seems to be the number one characteristic of Gabby Giffords, wouldn't you say? (Applause)

  4:37

  MK: Gabby's always been really optimistic. She works incredibly hard every day.

  4:41

  GG: On the treadmill, walked on my treadmill, Spanish lessons, French horn.

  4:48

  MK: It's only my wife who could be -- and if you knew her before she was injured, you would kind of understand this -- somebody who could be injured and have such a hard time communicating and meets with a speech therapist, and then about a month ago, she says, "I want to learn Spanish again."
