Wow, saw the show of man being impaled. I also was impaled 17 years ago after falling 27feet from an ocean-going barge unto the tugs handrail. The crew who came to my rescue didn't know, lifted me off the rail and put me on the deck of the tug. I never lost consciousness, so I have PTSD plus have gained 150lbs from all the steroids. The Drs at Tampa General gave me 10 1/2 units of blood.I've undergone over a dozen surgeries to put me back together I broke my neck in numerous places, my ribs on left side were crushed and my legs were pulled apart from my knees and have had 3 knee replacements. I moved to a peaceful tranquil NC three years ago and are doing so much better.
