All I heard was I was never going to
00:00:01
walk or talk [music] again. And even if
00:00:02
I did, it would be very, very limited.
00:00:04
And numbers don't lie. I wasn't even
00:00:06
supposed to survive, let alone walk
00:00:07
again. They told my parents and everyone
00:00:09
that I wasn't going to make it. So you
00:00:11
[music] better come and pay your final
00:00:12
respects to this guy cuz he's going to
00:00:13
die. And then they were supposed to cut
00:00:15
my right arm off, my right leg, cuz I
00:00:17
was burning from the inside out.
00:00:18
Fortunately for my dad, he was in there
00:00:19
saying, "He's no way. He either dies
00:00:21
whole or you wait until he wakes up."
00:00:22
>> Yeah. He didn't want to make the
00:00:23
decision on your behalf.
00:00:24
>> No. Cuz if I wake up and I had no arm
00:00:26
and no leg, I would have been pissed.
