00:00I'm finally at the hospital after four months, so that's a good thing.
00:07Right now, I'm just in the state of rehabbing and getting my strength back.
00:12Thank God I'm still here.
00:14The bullet was a centimeter away from my heart, but I've had five surgeries.
00:21I have another surgery I have to have also later, a couple months down.
00:27But five surgeries, the bullet damaged parts of my urethra.
00:36My colon's gone.
00:40What else?
00:41And I'm going to be losing the kidney.
00:43So the bullet did a little bit of damage, but it's nothing that I can't live without.
00:50You know, that's why we got two kidneys.
00:53Right now, I'm just starting back training, and I'm feeling good getting back stronger.
01:00I'm a walking miracle.
01:02They said I lost more blood than I had, so I'm thankful to be here.
01:08But I'm walking, and they said that I wouldn't be walking this fast.
01:13They said it would be an eight-month recovery for me just to even walk, so I'm doing good.
01:21Are you upset that this person's not being charged for shooting you at all?
01:25The law is the law, you know.
01:30I'm just thankful to be alive.
01:32I'm not upset about anything right now. I'm thankful.
01:35As far as that, I don't want to get into the legal part of it, but I will be talking about it.
01:41I do have some personal feelings, and, you know, who's to say there wasn't a setup?
01:47People don't know how I went about catching this guy, how I was even there.
01:53It was through another person, so it could be a setup also.
01:57So I'm going to get into that later down the road.
02:00I've been doing a lot of thinking, and I don't know what God has planned for me,
02:06but I will say I don't think it'll ever leave out of me because I love what I do.
02:13You know, it's easy for me to say right now, no, because I'm in the state I am.
02:19But, you know, when I'm back normal and feeling good, I'm sure that my thoughts might be different.
