They were losing all circulation.

And then I went into the induced coma.

The School of Greatness
The Mindset That Took Her From 2% Survival Odds to the Paralympics | Amy Purdy

The School of Greatness
The Mindset That Took Her From 2% Survival Odds to the Paralympics | Amy Purdy

The School of Greatness
The Mindset That Took Her From 2% Survival Odds to the Paralympics | Amy Purdy

in that induced coma for about two and a half weeks.

The Mindset That Took Her From 2% Survival Odds to the Paralympics | Amy Purdy

You're in and out for a little bit for say another like week or so.

And then, um, but I still was on life support when I woke up.

The School of Greatness
The Mindset That Took Her From 2% Survival Odds to the Paralympics | Amy Purdy

The School of Greatness
The Mindset That Took Her From 2% Survival Odds to the Paralympics | Amy Purdy

Um, my kind of everything was out of whack.

The School of Greatness
The Mindset That Took Her From 2% Survival Odds to the Paralympics | Amy Purdy

The School of Greatness
The Mindset That Took Her From 2% Survival Odds to the Paralympics | Amy Purdy

Uh,

The School of Greatness
The Mindset That Took Her From 2% Survival Odds to the Paralympics | Amy Purdy

I still had tubes down my throat because my lungs had collapsed and needed help breathing.

And so I was awake during a period of time where I was hooked up to like a whole room of machines, but aware of what was going on.
