I gave him my word that I'd come down there for three weeks.

And they said, well, just go ahead, start with us when you get back.

So for me to keep my word, I went down there, became deathly ill, came home, long story short, spent five and a half years till I got better.

I was two and a half years on my deathbed.

Another two and a half years on medicine.

What was it?

Well, they said I probably had dysentery and malaria.

It was so bad.

When I landed in Africa on Thursday, I weighed 267.

The next Thursday when I left the hospital and Gary Albright helped me get to a flight and finally make my way home, I weighed 232.

Oh my gosh.

I was 35 pounds lighter in six days.

Um, cause it was actually landed on Thursday, but I started getting sick Friday and, uh, it was insane.

And, uh,

It felt like I had sand in my mouth.

I had to carry drinks everywhere I went.

I thought I was going to die from just complete dehydration, which is pretty much where you die from with dysentery.

It's one end or the other.

You just can't hold any liquid down.

I drink, go, drink, go, drink, go.
