Corvette's automatic I don't need a clutch pedal he said let's see what this MRIs this he comes back shows me there was nothing between my knee and about that far above my ankle shattered the bone and I'm like oh hell we fix this and he said we're gonna do a thing called the nail procedure he said we're going to insert a titanium rod in your leg put a lot of screws and a lot of pins and we're gonna put you back together and you're not going anywhere for a little while because there's a lot of asphalt and your grass grit in your wound and then we're scared of fictional he said you'll probably get out of here Monday or Tuesday this was a Friday night they do my surgery the procedure and it was so funny I'll wake up the next morning about seven o'clock I'm in a room already got a cast up to my hip you know one of those pump things on your foot IV in each arm and a little thing on your finger I mean the whole shootin match the girls Dayton was there you know my thing they're already done yeah everything went good and doctor came in he explained everything and said that everything went well you know and asked me how I was feeling I said yeah a little drowsy but good and you know keep mine you know got a little bit of pretty boy baby I'm always got my hair fix on that guy any hairs all over my head I'm at dirt on my face still because I only cleaned parts they work on and I said gotta take a shower and he said well maybe tomorrow night we can get you a sponge bath well told the girl that was dating I said listen the key to my house is inside that bag right there I said you get everything off the top of my bathroom counter in my bathroom you put it in the travel kit bring me some Ujamaa pass some t-shirts bring my damn hair gel and some cologne and you come at well the doctor says I don't get and what the daughter said well while she was gone a lady came and seen me and she came in she was a cleaning lady a janitor she had a little card and she said hey baby how you doing I said doing great ma'am I said is there any way I could have one of those trash bags she's like of course she hands me a big black trash bag IVs out put the trash bag over my leg I rode the table into the bathroom you know your little your little table goes over the bed I wrote it into the bathroom I showered shaved had pajamas on hair fix by the time the doc cam back in he came in he's like you've shaved you showered said you did right he said I was up till 1 o'clock in the morning screwing screws through your bones watching them chip away and you could have made one wrong move would be fitting you for a prosthetic and he said but I guess since your leg hasn't fell off let's just see how good we did he brought a walker and made me walk from one end to the hospital well that whole floor I had to get from one end to the other my leg felt like it weighed 900 pounds and at first it was no big deal by the time I got back I'm out was died he goes now sit your ass down and do like we say you know and I joke with the nurses when they came in you know how a hospital works I'd be on Brookman leg but they'll wake you up in the middle of the night check your temperature I mean I'm not there for the flu you know so we'll always joke around with him I'm here to check your temperature I'd roll over we don't do it like that okay I got to be the little class clown on my floor you know I've got to know everybody and got a phone number that was kind of cool Monday they said finally I could go home from the hospital so my girlfriend was picking me up and of course just like any other hospital stay you get a bill for it and I got it before I was as they were wheeling me out well you know that bill was $48,000 no health insurance at the time I said you know I do like anyway I said pay plan but while I was in the hospital I had a little downtime and learn I was talking about customer service and about when you get good service from somebody i sat down I don't had a legal pad there put the pen to the paper and I wrote a letter that's the very first time herb in hospital in my life I've sold the x-ray machine before but I've never been in the hospital and I said you know it was a very traumatic experience but I said the staff here made this so much better and I was talking I dropped some names in there including the nice lady that they gave me the trash bag she also said kneeled and prayed with me while we're there all the nurses were super nice including the mercy room lady's daughter real nice girl and I mean just just real good service you know and just everything was great I said people will do anything to complain and I said I'll do anything to pray someone that gives me good service and I said I'd be honest we just thank you and I dropped it in a little suggestion box on the way out so the following Monday I called the business office ok we're all my information my social Adam zero I had no balance so let's check that one more time she checked that she said yeah we got where you were here but your balance has been paid in full come to find out the hospital a lot of people donate when they pass away they'll donate to the hospital and things like that there's a special fund set up for that and she said apparently somebody thought your case was worthy of it so just goes to show you right there a little praise can go a long way [Music] [Applause] you
