00:00:04

And numbers don't lie. I wasn't even supposed to survive, let alone walk

00:00:07

again. They told my parents and everyone that I wasn't going to make it. So you

00:00:11

[music] better come and pay your final respects to this guy cuz he's going to

00:00:13

die. And then they were supposed to cut my right arm off, my right leg, cuz I was burning from the inside out.

00:00:18

Fortunately for my dad, he was in there saying, "He's no way. He either dies

00:00:21

whole or you wait until he wakes up." >> Yeah. He didn't want to make the

00:00:23

decision on your behalf. >> No. Cuz if I wake up and I had no arm and no leg, I would have been pissed.
