Hey, what's up guys welcome back once again. It is me Moul. So happy to be here with you guys today I'm gonna tell you about the day that I almost died. That's right a lot of people are commenting in my recent Sit-Up challenge video, which was just me being weird Saying Moul what happened to your left arm? They're talking about this arm. You can obviously tell There's something happened to it, right? So I'm gonna tell you all what happened to my arm the day that I almost died Right now a lot of you probably want to hear it was a shark attack. Well, it was I'm kidding. It wasn't a shark attack Here's what happened so one day me and my friends the summer before college So I already graduated high school as a summer for college. I was out of the lake My friends and I went to go swing on a rope swing at the river, okay? Now this rope swing was intense it hung out really far in front of you so people would have to bring you the rope so you could swing and get a lot of momentum It was also a ski rope so I had a little triangle handle on the bottom of it, right? So you grab onto it and then there's that extra rope to hang it down so that people can hand it to you You put that behind your back, right? So I swing off I go and in the air I turn around for some reason Thanks later turn around because I'm right handed So I turn around and that extra rope I see come up and wrap around my arm in the air freak accent, okay? I hit the water at the river and it tightens on me So my arm is just it's just go and then I kind of black out for a second I come to I'm in the water I have this rope wrapped on my arm and my arm's not working. I'm trying to move it and it's not it's just hanging there just floating tight up in the rope so I start yelling from my friends. I'm like get out here help me So the jump in the water I try and swim out with this one arm I Get out of the water and I pass out, okay? And then I come to because I'm just like what happened? They call my mom and we say all right. We got to meet at the emergency room We're about a half a mile back in the woods to this river I have to piggyback on this guy one of my buddies and I just keep passing out I keep on having a lay down. They keep on having to pick my feet up and let the blood go to my head Cuz my body's in shock because of the rope that just wrapped around my arm. So we get out Get in the car Fly to the emergency room. I get there and I just sit in the waiting room and The adrenaline's starting to wear off and I'm just shaking cuz I'm in so much pain I go into the doctor. They do an x-ray. Okay, so they check my bones That's what they check. They don't check my muscles. They check my bones and they're like you find Nothing's broken. Nothing's dislocated. You're fine You just have a road burn. You'll be fine in a couple days and I'm like All right, wait, so you went to school to tell me that when my arm's not working. I'm fine All right, all right. I trust you. So I trusted them. I went home three days later my arm Still not working just hanging there and that's laying not working So I go and we get an MRI, okay? So I'm going one of those machines. I'm sure some of you all you all have had MRIs before I get all the way in the machine It's like woo for like 45 minutes 30 minutes however long it is We come out and then I go home and then they give us the results the results are that my Biceps which is the top muscle up here and the brachialis which is in between are 100% Splitted half so I have two bicep muscles because the rope wrapped around it and it just pinched it like played up So I have two bicep muscles, okay? Two biceps and two brachialis in this one arm and then my tricep was cut 75% of the way through by the rope, all right? If it had been cut any more The doctor said that I would have blood to death, all right? So malt Game with malt wouldn't be here right now if that rope had tightened any more whatsoever I want to blend because there's that big artery in your arm or to blood to death so We get all that news Like oh man, all right. What are we gonna do about this? This is a hard surgery. It doesn't really happen that much to people But there's a doctor at our church and got his amazing and this guy has done surgery on Shaqilo Neal He's done surgery on all these other athletes baseball players basketball players football players all these famous people and He's booked like three four months in advance just because of how good he is he's like I'm getting you in we're doing this thing So I get in because God's like I'm not gonna let my boy just let his arm Petrify or whatever the freak gets called Because the muscles started dying they weren't connected anymore. It was it was broken apart like this so I get in the surgery They do the surgery everything goes well and then I go off to college So I have a huge cast on my own the first semester of college I was gonna go play baseball at Western Carolina University in North Carolina. I was a pitcher. I was gonna play baseball and Obviously that dream got completely squashed by this stupid rope swing And so I start going through therapy for my arm my hand doesn't work Doesn't work for about five months because of all the nerve damage that happened and my arm is stuck at a right angle like this Like you couldn't bend it you could pull on it and it wouldn't bend because of the trauma that happened to it So for those six months we stretched it every day massage it and Stretch massage stretch when it was all done I couldn't even curl a two and a half pound weight because my muscles didn't work. They were disconnected Or they were building up from practically being a baby is like if you were to give a baby a two and a half I'll wait and say get yoat I couldn't do it And so I had to start all over with my arm and It's slowly progressed and whatnot It works now I can straighten my arm as well the doctor's like you should either be dead or not be able to Use your arm, okay? So I view this as a gift from God being able to be like mold you have another chance at using your arm So that you can play video games and post it on YouTube So that was in 2006 it is now 2014 so I was eight years ago guys. I was a long time ago. It looks better after it's never gonna look normal because my muscles were cut in half But After the surgery my arm was the size of my forearm. It was tiny because again the muscles were a baby muscle So I've gone through all that Some of you guys will probably make stupid mean comments because that's what makes you happy and you can do that You can say moat your arm looks dumb. I'll still hit you with it and knock you out I'm just playing But it works I can work out I do crossfit four times a week and It gets tired, but I mean it works. I can use it Obviously, I can use my fingers even though for the longest time guys five months my hand was like this My hand didn't work because the nerves were cutting out But now I'm just kind of going on about this I just wanted to give you guys a story. I know not everybody's gonna watch this but I think it's a pretty crazy interesting story the fact that I'm still alive when I should be dead I should I should have Blood to death the doctor is absolutely amazing. I'm a lot So crazy story. Thank you so much for watching I know I kind of rambled on but I wanted to give you all as many details as possible Thank you so much for watching guys. I really do appreciate it and as always make sure you keep calm and just live on all right live life on guys Yeah, I love you all.
