So they take me to the field hospital and immediately cut all my clothes off. And then they do a triage. And I guess they determined I was not seriously wounded. And then they put me inside this big tent. I mean, and it was cold as shit. I mean, it was so cold in that tent. And because it was going from outside, it was like 80, 90 degrees inside, 60, 70. So I remember they kept moving.

I was laying on just a canvas cot. And they kept moving it closer and closer. And it had all these buckets of water. And they put me on this x-ray machine because I was wondering what the water was for. And when they took me off the x-ray machine, they washed it off. And then the next thing I know, I was in surgery. I don't remember anything after that.

Then the next morning I wake up, bed is soaked, pissed all over it. And the corpsman says, don't worry, brother, you were just so busy, we didn't have time to put a catheter in you. And so I put one in me and then changed sheets. And then a colonel come over and said, congratulations, here's a verbal heart.

Yeah, I hit a trip wire. Hit a trip wire. Head trip wire was on the left side of me, and it caught my shrapnel here and in my left elbow. And I remember the surgeon saying, you know, you had a piece of, big piece of shrapnel go into the joint and didn't damage it. Wow. So I was lucky. I mean, I was lucky as I can be.

Oh, the explosion. Yeah, I was conscious most of the time. I didn't go out. I just remember when that fucking thing went off and I went down on the ground. I turned to George because I was learning to walk point then. And so Bryant was walking first. I was walking second. And I said, Jesus Christ, it fucking hurts. And then it didn't so much, and then it did, and then they shot me with morphine.

Of course, I didn't hear it so much as seeing it, you know? I didn't know what happened at first. You're disoriented totally.
