• 10:52
  Speaker 5: So back in twenty eleven, I broke my back rock climbing,
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: but I was at I was pretty far away from everything.
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: I was in a valley of fire National Park, had
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: a buddy from France with me. He didn't speak very
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: good English. So when I landed on my back, busted
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: in L five, had a burst fracture. I couldn't move
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: my legs, so he and I had to finangle my
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: way about a mile and a half to the parking lot,
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: and then he had to drive me to the hospital
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: where I almost you know, on the way out, I'm
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: like talking to him in French. I'm like, hey, buddy,
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: here's my ID, here's my insurance card if I passed out,
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: Like here's what you need to say in English, and
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: he's just like, please, don't, please don't.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I bet you were you were in you were in
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: a quite a bit of pain as well.
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: Well. It was the shock wore off about forty five
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: minutes afterwards, because we were an hour's drive from Las Vegas,
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: so we hit like bumper to bumper downtown Vegas traffic
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: a mile before our exit and then That's when everything
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: just kind of clicked and I go, oh my, this
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: is the worst pain I have ever experienced in my life.
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: Everything started going bright and I'm like, oh no, oh no,
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: here we go. But he ended up getting me to
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: the hospital. They came in, did an emergency X ray,
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: and the doctor comes in. He says, so we're gonna
• 12:20

• 12:35
  Speaker 5: I have about like eighty five percent mobility in it
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: because it was one hundred percent compromise. Like the bone
