RR in ICU Paralyzed on a Ventilator - Back in the Gym 4 Days Later...The Whole Story

Two weeks and three days prior to the taping of this episode I drove myself to the ER in Franklin TN with what began as severe abdominal pain.

Through a series of events in the coming hours I found myself (unconscious by the way for 13 hours) completely paralyzed for approximately 6.5 hours in the ICU on a ventilator. This was due to the anesthesia given for what I call “chapter one” my emergency appendectomy. It was just the beginning.

There was SO much more. God took me by the hand and walked me into the ER that day. I tell the whole story here in this episode. Because to take the entire experience in you must hear the whole thing. I found through this ordeal that I have a rare autoimmune condition that is irreversible.

However, due to the timing and the incredible synergy of the medical team that I was blessed with; very treatable.

I talk of my “3 Angels” the incredible medical staff that I was blessed with including the unsung heroes of medicine; the nurses. As Angel #3 said; "you’ll feel better than you have in the past 10-15 years.” And overall I felt pretty great anyway! She was spot on; with everything.

Little did I know. Now my message, my career, what I teach what I do what I live; ALL saved my own life. Also from Angel #3: “Your physical and mental condition saved your life. Anyone else would have just quietly fallen asleep and never woken up.” So what I thought at the time of my stay in that great hospital that week was over? Has now taken on a WHOLE new dimension.

Watch, listen and share with your friends. Because the grand message here is that you MUST do the work.

When your body mind and spirit has to go into battle; you’ve got to be ready!
