I guess it's hard to consider myself "lucky" but I see what you mean.

With me, typing what happened, it's not half as hard as saying it. When you say it, you hear yourself, it's a lot different- if they had wanted a written testimony I would have been able to provide that.

But like I said, no need. I'm not good at public speaking in front of people... I would have been a stuttering and probably silent mess.
