I had a sore throat for 2 weeks when I thought I would go to the emergency room to have it checked out. The doctor told me I have pus pockets on the back of my throat. They’re going to do some procedure but I had to stay overnight.

Around 3 a.m. I stop breathing. My throat had swollen. I had to have an emergency trach during that time.

I went into cardiac arrest and they had to shock me. After they brought me back I was in an induced coma for 3 weeks. My stay in the hospital was three months, than I had to go to rehab for 3 weeks. I had to learn how to walk again. I couldn’t feed myself.

I went into the hospital powerful 325 pound power lifter. I got out of the hospital a slim 250 lbs. I lost all my muscle. My arms were 22 when I got out of the hospital, they were 17. They told me I was septic. Since then I lost the use of my left hand. It’s been 6 years but I’m alive. God gave me another chance this time I’m going to do it better
