You know, anytime you wake up and your head's in another guy's lap.

Yeah.

This is not how this was supposed to be.

This day, this wasn't on the bingo card.

They took me to Williamson Medical at first, and they just took a look at it and went, whoa, you need to go to Vanderbilt, because there were bones sticking out of my pants.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

And did that freak you out?

Well, it didn't freak me out, but I just passed out.

That's the only time I think I've ever done that, looking at an injury.

I've had a lot of injuries over the years, but that one, it's like when you look down and you see that, I just went back out.

man, I must have been in there a couple of weeks or something.

Yeah, I mean, they didn't know.

They thought they might have to cut it off.

And I asked them to.

Because when he told me what the recovery was going to be like and how long it was going to take and that, you know, the damage to the nerves and all that kind of stuff, he said, you know, you're going to have trouble picking your foot up and blah, blah, blah, and all this.

And I said, just cut it off, man.

How long will the recovery be if you cut it off?

Because it was going to be below the knee, so it's not like up here, you know, so.

Anyway, and this knee's fake anyway.
