Chapters

00:00 - 00:30: Introduction and Accident Overview The chapter introduces the narrator, Joe, who shares a personal experience involving a serious accident. Joe expresses a change in feelings towards his dirt bike following a severe crash that resulted in him being in a coma for three weeks due to internal brain damage.
00:30 - 01:30: Injuries Sustained The narrator suffered several injuries, including a ruptured kidney and torn urethra, as well as requiring 14 stitches on their face. However, the most significant issue is with their hand, which they can no longer use. This chapter serves to explain the circumstances of the incident and act as a warning.
01:30 - 03:30: The Day of the Accident In this chapter, the narrator introduces a setting where they have become friends with a couple named Mark and Caitlyn. They host a barbecue with these friends, and just before they are about to have their meal indoors, the narrator impulsively decides to take a quick ride around the block on their dirt bike, feeling safe given the familiarity of the neighborhood. This unexpected decision sets the stage for events related to the 'day of the accident.'
03:30 - 06:30: The Aftermath and Hospitalization In the chapter titled 'The Aftermath and Hospitalization,' the narrative describes a situation where a person named Will is inquiring about the surroundings at the end of the street, particularly the presence of trails. Upon learning there are trails, he expresses a desire to explore the area on a four-wheeler to search for someone. The urgency and concern in his actions suggest he is looking for someone missing. Eventually, after approximately 25 minutes, Will discovers his friend lying in a fetal position about 5 feet away from a dirt bike, indicating a possible accident or emergency scenario that has led to hospitalization.
06:30 - 09:00: Recovery Journey The chapter titled 'Recovery Journey' narrates a moment of vulnerability and concern when the narrator is found in a worrying state by someone. This person is initially worried and checks the narrator's pulse. Hearing a slight moan from the narrator, they realize that the narrator is still alive. Promptly and calmly, the responder returns to the house to inform his own wife and the narrator's wife about the situation. Together, they quickly mobilize, getting into a truck to presumably seek help or move the narrator to safety. This moment highlights quick thinking and effective communication in a crisis situation.
09:00 - 11:00: Family Support and Reflection The chapter titled 'Family Support and Reflection' narrates a distressing incident where a family finds a person in distress. They immediately respond by covering the individual with a blanket and calling for emergency services. Despite their efforts, including trying to keep the person warm and monitoring vital signs, there is a significant delay in the arrival of help, lasting almost 40 minutes. The scene highlights themes of urgency, care, and the importance of family support in times of crisis.
11:00 - 15:00: Personal Changes and Future Plans In this chapter, the narrator recounts a harrowing personal experience involving a serious medical emergency. It begins with the narrator requiring an ambulance, which delayed, necessitating two calls. They were first taken to a hospital in St Marie, where they were assessed and found to have a torn kidney and a brain injury. They were sedated and subsequently airlifted to another facility in Sudbury, where they spent nine days unconscious. This chapter likely transitions into discussing the narrator's reflections on their personal changes following this event and any future plans they have devised as a result of their experience, though specific details on these reflections and plans are not provided in the transcript.
15:00 - 19:30: Wrapping Up and Gratitude This chapter, titled 'Wrapping Up and Gratitude,' covers the aftermath of a traumatic experience where the narrator was in a coma for three weeks. The narrator discusses being moved to a facility, hearing grim prognoses about a recovery, and being compared to another patient with similar injuries who was experiencing a prolonged recovery. Despite being advised to prepare for the worst, the narrator reflects on the challenges and realities faced during this period.

I was in a coma for 3 weeks Transcription

00:00 - 00:30 hey folks broken Joe here I'm a little banged up actually I was in a coma for 3 weeks so my love for my dirt bike has diminished um I crashed my dirt bike real hard and I got uh severe internal brain damage and I was in a coma for 3 weeks
00:30 - 01:00 uh I ruptured my kidney they tore my urethra what else there was a total of 14 stitches inside and outside on my face yeah um there's other things but the biggest problem is my hand I can't use it anymore this is as much as I can use it but this video is going to be explaining what happened and a warning to everybody so um we had some friends over the kids made some friends and we
01:00 - 01:30 became friends with their parents real good Mark and Caitlyn good people and uh they were all over for a barbecue and we were about to eat inside they were all about to eat inside I was outside cooking and I just saw my dirt bike sitting there I was like I'm going to go for a rip around the block real quick felt real safe you know it's my neighborhood it's no big deal just go for a real rip I'll come back and finish cooking and um I took off and Mark heard the the dirt bike go and uh and I was
01:30 - 02:00 gone for a while and then he asks will what did he ask you what's at the end of your street are there are there Trails down there yeah there Trails down there is there anywhere to go um and she told him no and I guess his face just dropped and he asked if he could hop on the four-wheeler and just go see if I was okay look for me or whatever and uh that was what 25 minutes eh yeah and um he rode down the street and he saw me off the side of the road in a field position about 5 ft away from from my dirt bike
02:00 - 02:30 just laying there and I guess he came up to me and was real worried came up and shook me and um your pulse and and what I started moaning a little bit yeah he said he heard me moan or whatever and he knew I wasn't gone um so he he he he very smartly went back to the house and quietly told his wife and my wife let's go and uh I guess they hopped in the truck and and
02:30 - 03:00 what we drove down to where he was and he was basically out just these little moans from time to time and uh he was laying like that there was a lot of dew in the grass so his body was wet and Caitlyn threw a blanket over him and I wrapped my body around him while she was on the phone with 911 and we tried to keep him warm and she kept count of his PS sorry and then we waited almost 40 minutes for the
03:00 - 03:30 ambulance to come to us we had to call twice CU it was taking so long so they um they airlifted me to to Sudbury or you went to the hospital in St Marie first where they assessed you and found that you had torn your kidney and that had the brain injury and they sedated you and then they airlifted you too lifted me to Sudbury where I spent nine days um unconscious
03:30 - 04:00 uh in a coma and then they they brought me over to sue St Maria and I spent a total of three weeks in aoma um they they were telling will all sorts of crazy things they took you in into a another room where somebody else had some a similar injury and told you what that guy had been out for three months he had been out for three and a half weeks already they and they expected him not to be awake for another at least three and they told you I'd never be the same y you'd never be the same if I had to prepare myself for the worst and that
04:00 - 04:30 I was going to be out for months it could be months they and they said it could even take years before you were capable of forming thoughts or right and I was awake in in what about just under 3 weeks and two days after that I was home I I had left the hospital against their will um I signed myself out but they weren't doing anything for me and it's very de dehumanizing being in the hospital um actually fell on my face and my arm crushed my arm even worse um the night
04:30 - 05:00 before I left so they they they they put a catheter in me and I have a narrow urri to begin with so they they they tore it all up and the one the one doctor actually said looked at my face and said his urethra looks worse than his face type thing so I had a cath in me for a long time and they took it out that that day and they were like just pee in this cup or whatever laying down and I and I couldn't I couldn't lay the pee laying down I just can't I can't normally and after that rupture to my to
05:00 - 05:30 my to my uh urethra I I I couldn't pee laying down so I I had to get up to pee and then I was like exposed and I didn't want to expose myself to the nurses and stuff so I tried to like take care of everything and I just I don't even really know what happened I fell and I I got a big goose egg and uh crushed my arm real bad this was after they gave me all the MRIs and how many they gave me a bunch you had a total of three TC CT scans I want to say four or five Mr
05:30 - 06:00 multiple X-rays and while you were um in the aoma you kept getting chest infections which is they said is normal from being on life support um but they had to keep doing x-rays of your chest yeah so anyways I didn't get any more x-rays after that the hospital and and my arm is so swollen up that um we went for one a few days ago but they couldn't even tell so it might be broken it might be fractured but the the big problem is the nerve damage um my brain's fine I'm here you know what I mean I remember everything
06:00 - 06:30 except for that day I actually my brain wouldn't let me remember that my brother passed away and I was I was like adamant to talk to him in the hospital I was like I can hear him I can hear him in the hallway why why isn't he here why isn't he visiting like where is he blah blah blah like why won't you let me call him and all this stuff and then after I got home my mom and will had to break it to me that he had passed away and that was a real hard thing to deal with for a second time uh it had been like one year anniversary of his death actually and as
06:30 - 07:00 soon as they told me I knew they weren't joking around but it all came flooding back um but but I remember everything now I actually in the hospital will was worried that that I that I had lost 5 Years cuz they were asking me how old I was I kept saying 35 this happened two days before my birthday guys that's another thing I want to say if there's a ton of messages on my phone if you guys sent me a happy birthday wish and I didn't reply I'm very sorry but that's why I was out for three weeks uh right
07:00 - 07:30 after my birthday and for anybody who I had dealings with through YouTube or any kind of contracts or anything like that again very sorry I couldn't do anything about it I was not coherent I actually went somewhere in my in in my in my coma I I I have very lucid memories like I don't want to call them dreams because it felt so real uh I was actually there doing those things and when I woke up I was like telling will I had this the the meaning to life and all this crazy weird stuff but it took me a while to be
07:30 - 08:00 coherent um I actually anyways we're skipping forward a bit um I was driving down the street real quick and I was only about five houses from home and there was like this really soft gray ditch went like this but but very very like flat and I don't really know what happened I don't remember what happened I could have swerved to hit to miss a deer there's tons of deer here I could have just cross control but what I
08:00 - 08:30 think happened was I think I tried to go down into the ditch just to mess around like you do when you're on a snowmobile or whatever and come back up cuz the grade wasn't bad but but what I didn't notice it was there was a lot of Dew and boulders big boulders underneath the the longer grass not long grass just about that but I think what happened was I did that and I didn't see a boulder must have hit it the wrong way and it ragged all me they they said they found me about 5T away from the dirt bike facing the other way which is crazy so I must have just been Rag doed and I smoked my
08:30 - 09:00 face off of a boulder um but yeah anyways I didn't um what I remember from being in a coma was they would come in in real life the only thing I remember is is them cleaning my mouth out with this antiseptic CU I had tubes all down my throat and I had tubes in every orifice except for my ears every orifice but then cleaning my mouth up with this antiseptic sponge I remember that that vividly like a hundred times like I they
09:00 - 09:30 must have done it so many times or I just woke up every time from it or whatever a little bit but I remember that and I remember will talking to me real nicely like I had done something good and uh that's all I remember from real life from from those three weeks in a coma but I put my my family through it all and I and I feel so bad for that um it was such a stupid mistake I'm selling my dirt bike I'm selling my motorcycle I'm not good on two wheels and um I'm not preaching that that it's not a good thing it's just not for me was it dark
09:30 - 10:00 out when I did that or no it was like sunsetting getting dark yeah so I V the v v Vision wasn't great either but it was completely my fault and I'm paying the consequences now but um what really woke me up they kept saying like what were they telling you about waking me up they told me to play songs or videos or like anything that would be like familiar to him so I had been
10:00 - 10:30 playing our wedding song and a few weeks prior he had been listening to this one song that told me that he told me made him think of me so I kept playing that to him and then uh I had a recording of Wolfie doing his woo woo his woooo that he gets excited for his food and when Joey comes home and so played that for him and he actually tried to call him I started calling Wolfie while I was out and then that's what finally woke me up eh that's when you started to to come around a bit I had kissed you on the
10:30 - 11:00 forehead and you just went um it it was it it was very hard on my mom came up and we had a lot of support and I want to say thank you to everybody like Chris Corey Mark Caitlyn um your sister Abigail for sure yeah U my my mom will very much will U she she took care of everything Will's rock man she took care of everything uh
11:00 - 11:30 everything and like didn't let the kids come up to see me thank God I didn't want that at all it's a straight up miracle that I'm here like I could have I could have I could have been gone forever and I could have been a vegetable they were worried about me being being a vegetable which I wouldn't even want to be around if that was the case um yeah the 9 days in subury they every time they would try to to lower the sedation it try they would try to wake him and they
11:30 - 12:00 would ask him questions to try to get to see if his brain would respond like squeeze my fingers and stuff like that and he he wouldn't respond and they'd have to put him back in to the sedated aoma I guess I kept getting like all wild and thrashing around every time and stuff yeah they call it combative and your body would just thrash yeah um and I didn't know I I don't remember any of it right like it wasn't it wasn't me doing it I was I was I was in another place I was I was Lake Superior with these indigenous people like it was the
12:00 - 12:30 most real thing I've ever felt in my life um yeah and now my hand I have about 10% use of this hand my pinky and my thumb work on this hand these three fingers are numb as can be and I can't like do any motor functions with them or anything and this hand is just dead like there's zero zero use of this hand that's as much now that's an improvement
12:30 - 13:00 eh it's a huge Improvement that's as much as I can do but but they said I didn't break anything at that time I might have broke my wrist after on the fall I didn't break anything I didn't break my collar bone I didn't I didn't break anything which is which is a huge Miracle like I could have broken a bunch of stuff I could have I could have been gone guys for real yeah um but it's all nerve damage right nerve and ligament damage which I'm praying and hoping that it fixes from what I've heard it it will fix might take months and I might have
13:00 - 13:30 everlasting uh symptoms of it which is not great for for me being out in the you know what's crazy like I go out on these like week two week long Adventures by myself and nothing's ever happened to me and stupid me I'm just going to rip around the block on the dirt bike like a and freaking crash it and you know change my life forever so I feel real bad about putting my family putting will through this and um yeah it's just not for me not for me
13:30 - 14:00 anymore but uh moving forward I'm doing physio I'm I'm doing chiropractor stuff and uh I have some nerve damage pills and some cream and I won't be able to get out camping for a long time guys um I do have one video in the queue I went camping with Doug's brother and we caught every trout imaginable and the northern lights were there and I have all that footage it's real hard for me to edit though my
14:00 - 14:30 finger shakes a lot and it like this one doesn't feel anything so when I push the mouse it's really hard and using my pinky is almost impossible for that so I'll get it done it might take a couple weeks but I'll get it done but you can expect a Hiatus from me for a few months I didn't want to I didn't want to at all I I wanted to go hard I had a bunch of plans this summer big plans I was going to go on like a 40-day canoe trip um with Wolfie I had all the logistics worked out I had the food drops worked out and everything and
14:30 - 15:00 will had to email these people and tell them like it's not going to happen type thing but um this is not what I want obviously I wanted to I you know what you don't even take things you take things for granted and you don't even know like why would you even think about taking your hands for granted right it's not even something I would ever think about but here I am upstairs watching my mom and will even Emerald do things for me which I absolutely hate will dresses me every day like it's that bad like

16:00 - 16:30 swelling went down fairly quickly yeah it was just knowing what kind of damage or memories he could have done that the MRIs and CAT scans don't show you until they're awake and you're talking to them yeah everybody's worried about my brain I just wish they would focus on my arm a little bit more but um yeah just remember me CU I I don't want any of you to go through that that was that was that was insane uh I don't remember that day

18:00 - 18:30 ever it'll just take some time but um anybody's have had any nerve damage or ligament damage can can attest to the to the pain the pain is through the roof it's like this um it's like 12 out of 10 all the time I get really no reprieve from it and no sleep no sleep and it's like from my elbow down you know these two bones in your in your elbow the two sharp Bones on that side right in between there that ligament is jacked
18:30 - 19:00 and all the way up and then down and um my wrist and my hand again my hand's clawing up you can see I have to straighten it with my with my other hand every now and then my fingers so that they don't get stuck like that and uh Will's got me a sling and stuff and man it really really really sucks and I'm really really concerned about it but I'm I'm believing that it will uh uh heal and I I think I I know that it was

27:00 - 27:30 want um and five bucks is five bucks I would do that I would I would pay five bucks to watch an outdoor video and this is not going to be a YouTube video this is not going to be like hey check out these fall Raven pants blah blah blah it's going to be an actual documentary like a real documentary I I pretty epic places yep epic places epic trips me and Wolfie I actually had a professional editor in the line ready to help me uh understand how to shoot it before my my next big big which isn't going to happen now and then he was going to help me
27:30 - 28:00 edit it after but anyways that's my plan and for those people who don't like that I'm sorry it is what it is like I I I can't uh rely on YouTube anymore but um I'll still put videos out on YouTube I'm not going to leave it and I'll still put big trailers out on YouTube and actual videos and stuff so you don't have to worry I'm not going anywhere but about four times a year I'm going to do this specialty yeah this big big time like epic adventure type stuff and I hope you guys follow I hope you guys enjoy it and like it and appreciate it which um which
28:00 - 28:30 I will because it will give me another sense of like YouTube is like a soul crushing thing for me for a lot of people and this will give me a renewed sense I can actually show cleaning a fish or putting a knife up to the camera you know what I'm saying to show it off or whatever the case may be where YouTube does not allow that YouTube is the most woke thing in the world and I'm super anti-woke I'm the I'm the least woke person I'm asleep I'm asleep uh so we just don't click anymore but um
28:30 - 29:00 and if you don't like that I'm sorry you know what I mean I really am but it is what it is this is reality after 15 years you know what I'm saying I'm I'm I'm getting just left in the dust so it's time for a change and um again like I said I'm not going to stop making YouTube videos don't worry about that but the specials specials will be about four times a year for five bucks can't go wrong y so all right you guys have a
29:00 - 29:30 good day thanks for helping me with this will welcome baby there was some things I don't remember from that day so um yeah take it easy guys and we'll see you soon I have that that video coming up with Doug's brother uh in a couple weeks so look out for that thanks
