Burns to 76% of my body. Coma for a month and a half. Hospital/rehab learn to walk again for a year. Back to school to retrain 3 years later. Back to work new job 9 years later.

Jesus, I can't even imagine. I had a steam burn last week on my hand the size of a bottle cap and even that was shit.

You must be a complete bad ass to make it through that.

Oh man that sounds awful I can’t even imagine. Why did you need to re-learn how to walk if you don’t mind me asking?

oh man that is much worse than my one and I was ICU. I have a permanant burn scar covering my whole left foot from when I was a kid so I cannot underestimate how strong you are to have fought through that and still be here. You got stuff to do in this life.
