thought i was just dreaming i saw my mom there and my dad and quite a few other people his girlfriend kristi was at the hospital constantly he says at first the prognosis was poor hed broken almost every bone in his body and the doctors were concerned he wouldnt pull through recalls his mother i had problems with my memory and still do a bit an thony explains adding he has suffered hardly any pain and feels optimistic about the future i feel a bit better every day when i woke up i couldnt raise my arm so i started on that he was in a wheelchair for about threeandahalf weeks before
