Braxton McCoy

So I was like rubbing this organ through my fingers, trying to see if I could feel it.

And I don't know.

Dude, I felt anatomy.

I don't know if you can even feel organs like that, right?

But I'm sitting here.

And then I hear Johnny screaming my name, just like everybody else, anybody with a McCoy or Mac, whatever.

It's just Mac, right?

And so I'm hearing Mac, Mac.

And then next thing I know, I can feel like a little weight off of my back and then a little more weight.

And then these organs kind of pulled out and I could see the top of my hips.

Shit.

I was like, fuck, at least, you know, at least I got hips, right?

But I couldn't really see much more.

And then they rolled me over.

And when they rolled me over, that's when I knew my legs were totally screwed.

that they didn't, like they were rolling like this, you know, wobbling.

And what had happened is I, essentially everything that didn't have armor on it got hit by ball bearings.

and my right femur was busted in two places, my left in three, my left tibia, my left hip was broken in two spots, my right hip in one, my radius and ulnar were broken, all the bones in my right hand, my right median nerve was transected right here at my wrist, my left humerus was broken, I had brain injury, busted ribs, broken back.

and i was laying there bleeding and you know the first thought you have is after seeing stuff you think there's just absolutely no way i'm gonna live you know so then you start doing that stupid like you know tell my mother i love her and and that kind of stuff

And then my medic gets there, and he starts cutting my pants off to try to assess, right?
