I had my neck fused last September to fix some nerves that had gotten themselves compressed somehow. I’m sure a career of landing on my head for a living played a role but sadly we’ll never know. Regardless, I had been in pain and losing strength in my right arm for some time and no amount of tape or denial could delay my surgery any longer.
Unfortunately, I suffered from a rare post-surgical complication and suddenly I couldn’t move my arm at all. “C5 palsy” the doctor said, and “nerves take a long time to heal.” So I was left to be patient and test my perseverance.
Needless to say it was disheartening to relearn activities like brushing my teeth and wiping my ass with my left hand. My career wasn’t in question any longer, it was my quality of life. But focusing on what I could control every day kept me sane, such as being the best father I could possibly be. Every other moment has been spent rehabbing, dry needling and training.
A few months ago I discovered the Neubie device @neufitrfp an electric stim machine that runs on direct current akin to the human nervous system. The machine has many terrific uses but specializes in helping those with post-surgical neurological injuries.
Within a month of using the Neubie I once again had full range of motion in my shoulder. My nerves are all online again and firing with enough power to get the dinosaurs back in their pens.
Grateful for the support of my friends and fans over this last year and to the Neubie device and my trainer @unconventional_strength and diet coach @thediabeticfighter for not only giving me back my quality of life but for getting me closer to my ultimate goal; a return to the ring.
The wrestling ring has felt like an oasis in the desert for me these last 12 months. I know if I keep walking I’ll eventually reach it but I don’t know if it’ll just disappear when I get there like a mirage. I’m so parched, all I want to do is get to the oasis and drink to quench my thirst but I have to be careful or I’ll trip in the sand or collapse from the heat. I guess that’s why this is taking so long, patience and perseverance.
The good news is I can see the oasis now, it’s definitely not a mirage.
This simple exercise has gone from impossible to a little easier over time. I will never take for granted to ability to use my arms again. Thanks to the @neufitrfp device and training program @unconventional_strength and @thediabeticfighter I am gaining speed towards my ultimate goal of returning to the ring.
Getting closer every day… But for my now my legs are too sore to move.

I first read ‘Slaughterhouse-five’ by Kurt Vonnegut in high school after it came highly recommended by my buddy @zacharyb87 and it instantly became my favorite novel. It was one of the first books I read that had me thinking about it for days after (outside of a book report or daydreams of a Hogwarts letter). After that I read everything by Mr. Vonnegut I could get my hands on. I stumbled upon the graphic novel adaptation yesterday @blackbirdcch and was blown away once again. If you’re a fan of graphic novels or classic novels then I suggest you give it a peep. Or don’t. So it goes.
