“At this point, I had a sense of panic, but I was also in a state of complete confusion,” he said. “I couldn’t move my arms and the worst feeling was that my throat was closing. It felt like someone put their hands around my neck. Thank God I stayed at my mother’s house, she saved my life.”

He continued: “I was like, ‘Oh my God, I feel alive again,’ like it was a really nice feeling. It was very difficult being away from Macy, but she climbed onto the bed, obviously lying on the other side of my chest from my surgery, and put her head on top of me. We just cuddled for a few hours while I talked about football and we dealt with it as normal. I can feel the butterflies again next to her.
