Buff Bagwell

So I just put my hand back down.

And by then, it's board, tape, tape, tape for the next three hours.

And I can move my fingers and I can move my toes.

And I don't stop moving them.

We get to the hospital, and three hours go by with CAT scans and MRIs, and the doctor walks in and goes, sit up.

And I go, do what?

So they start taking the tape off, and I slowly start sitting up and realize I am perfectly normal.

And I said, what happened?

He goes, you bruised your spinal cord.

And I go, what's that mean?

He goes, when you broke your neck at three, four cervical disc, three hit your cord, but it didn't sever it.

It bruised.

And when the human body spinal cord bruises, when it bruises, you're paralyzed.

And when the swelling goes down,

You can move again.

And I was like, thank God.

So directly in the hospital, because if I get shoved, if I fall, it's against my cord.

So instead of it getting severed, let it go in, pull my hip out, and they pull that out of your spine and put your hip in place.

I'm fused at three, four, and six, seven.

So two plates and eight screws.
