00:00Well guys, after two weeks, I finally made it out of the hospital.
00:03It has been quite the journey and by far the most extreme and painful and challenging injury I've ever faced
00:13in my entire life, times 100.
00:18I'll give you the full rundown.
00:20Basically, I had a complex tibia fracture.
00:24I also fractured my fibular head, my tibial plateau, just kind of everything was in pieces.
00:32And the reason why it was so complex was because I had compartment syndrome.
00:39And compartment syndrome is when you have so much trauma to one area of your body that there's too much
00:46blood and it gets stuck.
00:48And it basically crushes everything in the compartment.
00:52So all the muscle and nerves and tendons, it all kind of dies.
01:00And Dr. Tom Hackett saved my leg.
01:03He saved my leg from being amputated.
01:06He did what's called a fasciotomy where he cut open like both sides of my leg, kind of fellated open,
01:14so to speak.
01:17He let it breathe and, um, he saved me.
01:22And, you know, I always talk about everything happens for a reason, but if I hadn't torn my ACL, which
01:28I would have torn anyways with this crash,
01:31if I hadn't done that, Tom wouldn't have been there.
01:33He wouldn't have been able to save my leg.
01:35So I feel very lucky and grateful.
01:38So I feel very lucky and grateful.
