And I remember looking over at her and telling her everything was going to be OK. And at this moment, I knew everything was not going to be OK. But I still said it.

The amount that you have around your spine is abnormally much less than the average person, which is why this happened, which is why you went head on with this guy and you're temporarily paralyzed from the neck down. And I was like, okay, perfect. I'm good. I've got my feeling back. Listen, when can I get back on the field? And I remember the doctor taking like this big, deep breath.

He looks down like this. Looks over at us. And you could tell he's like mustering up the courage to tell me something. And my mom was like, oh my goodness. And so he looks over at me and he goes, Diamond, I got good news and I got bad news for you. I said, well, Doc, let's start with the good news. What's the good news? He said, the good news is you're moving. You're walking. Your hands work.

Your feet work. Everything from your neck down works. It wasn't supposed to be this way. It was supposed to be the opposite. He said, the bad news is Is that based on you having congenital stenosis and the danger that it would put you in if we let you back on the field? He said, I can't clear to play this game anymore. And for me, I'll never forget those words.
