WTF?

 Yes, definitely WTF . . . Who freaking knew? Certainly not me . . .

June 18th, 2022 . . . I woke up and was paralyzed waist down . . . It came out of  nowhere . . . This strong guy . . . What? Go to the hospital . . . MRI  . . . CT scan . . . Neurosurgeon walks in and tells me it's stage four cancer . . . Two tumours on my spinal column, among other places . . . Lungs, bones . . . No shit . . . This is freaking real dude . . .

He gave me the news, originally thinking it is multiple myeloma . . . I just looked at him and said, this is just another rehab . . . I've been an athlete all my life . . . Knee surgeries, cortisone shots, multiple rehabs . . . I know about rehabbing . . . So I'm telling this guy it's just another rehab . . . He gave me the look of, Are you fucking crazy? I just told you you have stage four . . . I knew from day one I would walk again and told them and nobody freaking believed it!

They didn't think I'd be alive today . . . Didn't think I'd ever be out of a wheelchair . . . Four and a half months in hospital, including ten days in isolation due to testing positive for COVID . . . 

From paralyzed for a month, to a wheelchair, to a gutter walker, to a two wheel walker, to a four wheel walker, to a cane, to no cane . . . Walking normally . . . 

The message is, hope is a reality . . . I never doubted I could do it . . . Not for a second . . . Everyone else doubted I could do it, but not me . . . 

If I can overcome this, anyone can overcome anything . . . Anybody can find their inner toughness . . . I will be here for a while . . . Just came back from my beautiful daughter's wedding in Mexico . . . Walked her down the aisle . . . No cane . . . No shit dude . . .
