HOLY shi*t!
Last week I went for a casual skate session, as I've been doing my whole life. Little did I know that it was going to such an intense moment in my life.
I was just trying a kickflip over a set of stairs and having a hard time with it. And one particular try everything went horrible. When I landed, my front foot came off my board leaving all my weight on the back... the board snapped up and shot directly into my throat! It was the worst feeling ever!
Instantly everything went to shi*t!
The damage...
I sliced my larynx inside my throat, which caused severe bleeding that I was choking on; crushed my right vocal cords, and caused my throat to swell almost cutting off my air supply.
I spent 5 days in the hospital, and was hacking up blood for over a full day. Simply... It sucked.
Now my voice sounds like an old italian mobster off the Godfather or something, and it might not ever sound the same.
I'm out of the hospital finally and on the path to getting better now.
So there's a little story for whoever cares.
Don't stab your throat with a sk8, it hurts.
