The doc's saying, I don't know if we can save your foot. I'm like in shock, obviously, right? I'm going to have to amputate your foot. I basically shattered everything from my L1 to L5. My complete back has been put back together. I'm sitting in my apartment and I'm doped up. The sun comes through the blinds and the lights hit the bookcase. And it was Into Thin Air by John Krakauer.

I just was obsessed with this book. What was the book about? It's about the 96... commercial disaster on Everest. And I just couldn't put this book down. I wake up, I'm all sweaty. I look down, I see the book. I'm like, that's it. I'm done. I'm going to go climb Everest. I met this kid, Keith, stepped on an IED, missing his leg well above the knee.
