The crop dusters, a friend of ours that cropped us, Dave Malcolm, they took his brother's plane with no interior lights in it. So my dad's sitting on the bucket holding a flashlight, flying into Blair, Nebraska, took off at Johnson Lake to get down to Omaha to see me because they flew me in the helicopter. Yeah. So I had my uncle meet me down there.

My aunt got pulled over going to the hospital with my family. They got a police escort to the hospital after she got pulled over from Blair. And this, yeah, so it was a... It's a crazy couple of days, but they wanted to cut it off that night. I decided, you know, obviously I was pretty high the whole time, but there's no way I was going to cut my foot off. So we tried to keep it.

We had five surgeries within six days of cleaning all the shrapnel and bone fragments, and it was a gnarly foot. They literally had to lay it over all of that pinky toe to clean all. My x-ray was, if this is my pinky toe, my x-ray was just like a Christmas tree. It just had a piece of shrapnel everywhere. The bolt really never came out. It hit bones and just exploded right there. Really? Yeah.

Was it a partition?

Oh, no, no. It was just a regular soft tip 243. Yep, just regular soft tip 243. Some of them bullets are made to do that. Holy smokes. They sewed me up good enough that when I actually left the hospital, I could put my foot up and I could see you through the hole where they sewed. So my ankle bone was here, and then the bullet went in right above here.

I could see right through my foot, and I could take pictures of my friends through my foot when I went home. So they did not amputate. Not then. But that was your choice. Yes, they wanted to. And I was like, there's no way I would be able to play sports or anything. And they sent me home with a wound vac, which is a sponge in there.

And then you seal it up and it puts negative pressure and actually pulls your muscles and skin and back together so it heals better, which is great. But when you change it every two days, you're literally ripping off its bright red tissue. And you're ripping something that grew to it every single two days. And that was the most painful thing.
