How Kevin Hart Recovered From His Devastating Car Accident

Taken from JRE #1480 w/Kevin Hart:
• Joe Rogan Experience #...

[@lukecotton3076]

Joe was trying so hard not to bring up how the sauna is great for recovery

[@arnoldles858]

Hahaha

[@murphyebass7837]

A sauna would have healed him quicker alright. It heals life.

[@muqlisqayumm]

[@illwill1991]

Lmao rogan treats saunas like they're earthrealms jinsei. Joe rogan thinks that every sauna should be protected by liu kang and kung lao. I can just picture Joe in full raiden cosplay in front of a sauna going "earthrealms jinsei needs to be protected from shinnoks amulet!" Haha ahh no one else finds this funny. Mk11 aftermath just came out so I've been playing it all day and now all I can think of is mortal kombat.

[@huxm5259]

Kevin is pouring his soul out explaining pain, trauma, and heartbreak for everyone to hear. Respect for this guy and for never giving up. Famous people exist but this conversation was just two real people being humans.

@Karen Aguilar why not both?

[@Thickcurves]

For spinal cord injuries.... it's a common misconception that if you never give up and stay positive, it fixes things. That's not true. No amount positive attitude or never giving up can fix an on/off switch in your nerve connections. If the inflammation or the break kills the nerves, outside of some future miracle in medicine, you can't inspire your nerves to not be dead. People assume this works because it can take up to 6 months for inflammation to go down and then you see what you have left and regain movement. You can't "work" or "never give up" to regain nerve function. It's simply not how the spine works.

on deployment in 2004, 35 years old, a year before I had been running 10 miles, riding a mountain bike up the steep hill at Osan AB ROK, benched over 500lbs, training for special forces, and I got fucked up. Wasn't enemy action, no explosions, no bullets, but walking and moving was now extremely painful. Going from being able to do damn near anything, lifting heavy shit most people need a forklift to move at all, to all you can do is sit around, man it makes you feel worthless. The more I pushed to get back to where I was, the more it hurt. Got out in '05 with a laundry list of shit fucked up with me physically and mentally. Strangely enough, in '12 I was doing some stuff for my father in law, painting parts for a car and I reused the mask I had used two days earlier to shoot the car. I was unaware that is a bad move, the stuff in the paint fucked up my lungs so it hurt like hell to do anything and it felt like a tank was on my chest. So now can't walk, can't breathe so everything I wanted to do was out. Sit around for 6 months, the wife bringing me food and something to drink, and taking a piss was exhausting from the ten steps to get there. Had no idea what was causing it for most of the time. Figured out it was the paint, got some meds for that, found smoking weed once a week helped my lungs, and in two months I was able to move without getting winded. Just as I recovered, the wife decided I was broken forever and she cheated, so I punted her ass to the curb. I had to look really fucking useless and bad for her to think the guy she has now was better. As my lungs improved, I found the inactivity had healed the rest of me that was fucked up in the desert almost ten years before, not fully but enough I could enjoy my life again. Problem was she was rewarded by the state, I had to pay her and her boyfriend, she got the house, and I was left homeless... again because it was my second divorce. First one was 2001. In 2015 I was finally free from paying either of them. They gave me all kinds of meds for pain, and the pain killers caused headaches and the stupid feeling Joe and Kevin talked about, so none of that shit for me. Turns out an arthritis med works pretty good, and with some supplements I can walk again and without looking like I am 80. I've been so close to my own death so many times, it doesn't scare me.. not even a little. The only thing that concerns me is how would I get the cars rebuilt if I am dead, and who will take care of my dogs? Then my daughter would have to figure out what to do with all the cars, equipment, tools, parts, and stuff I have to keep myself busy.. death itself isn't a problem for me, but it is for everyone around me. I found ways to work around my physical limitations so I can rebuild my old muscle cars. It now takes days to do something that used to be minute or hours, and years when it was days before I got hurt, but I can get it done. The best part is, if you look at me, you don't see any of what I am dealing with, none of it shows. I can hide it all, deal with all of it, and put everyone around me at ease. I still have the strength, but not the carrying capacity, so I can mask the pain easily. I can do something two or three days out of the week, and about 4 or 5 hours of those days. Its something at least, and I build cool shit. My dad died yesterday, mom back in '14, now I get to drive 14 hours and have my siblings try to fuck me around. They made my life hell until I enlisted and got off the continent back in 88. So much bullshit in my life, from so many people, and two wars. I've been told most people would have quit, long before the last deployment, if they had to endure what I have. Its a lot more than I wrote about here. Used to do stand up at open mic nights in the early 90s, then I married the first ex and she destroyed my life in many ways. I don't feel funny anymore. People freak at what I find funny, since its very dark and very politically incorrect. Being around death for most of your life, somehow surviving when friends didn't, it gives you a fucked up sense of humor. Why haven't I quit? Thats easy, I am not a victim. Shit happens, people suck, I deal with it and keep trying to do the things which interest me. I want to build GTOs and other cars, make them haul ass, look cool, and then enjoy driving and working on them. I didn't go through all of that shit just to quit, or stop and sit around drinking myself to death, smoking weed constantly, or being useless. So today its swap a trans into my daily driver GTO, pack up the truck so I can drive to BFE where I grew up tomorrow. You get up, do what you gotta do, and keep moving even if it hurts. Yes I know, nobody cares, nobody read this far, and I wrote this for me, not for you.

[@DavidGoliath1]

Great comment men that’s fucked up. I hope you can find somebody that supports you and appreciate you for what you are. It doesn’t have to be a female. If you have the money and the luck to find a great therapist I’m sure it could help you. I was depressed for a long time, feeling alone and unwanted in every situation and never thought shit about therapy but a person that suits you and is able to listen can help a lot. Communication is the most important thing we have as humans. Making a comment on KZbin about my situation and feelings and seeing the people react to it was my first step to mental and physical recovery really i hope it can do the same thing for you. Don’t abandon on what you’re doing. I’m sorry for your dad and pls do not get married again it’s useless.

[@JM-ig4ed]

I read the whole thing - glad that if writing all this helped you. Keep striving and don't close yourself off from people.

How did I know the wifey would leave in your time of sickness.... I wanted to be wrong but nope. I feel you, brother. Been on death's door, fucked up back, falsely accused, betrayed and trust broken many times, dealing with shitty toxic people in family and elsewhere all the time. I'm no longer who I was before. Laugh at my own misfortunes and tragedy you'd think I was crazy. Only thing getting me through is sunken cost fallacy, and wanting to help others who have been in or are going to be in my situation.

[@gusgarcia4884]

So why did you write it then? Your pity party is hoping you would see the light and get over yourself. Everyone goes through shit dude. Some people worse than others. The reason why so few likes is cause people don't care. They don't. This is a dog eat dog world. They feel bad to a certain point..then it stops. On a dime. You ranted and told your story like your the only one who goes through shit. I don't feel bad for you. I'm a single guy who chose to be cause I witnessed my older sisters go through break ups and divorces. I think every marriage should come with a 3 year contract. And every time you break that contract you get reprimanded by your parents cause they said " i told you so "..then move on...marriages dont work. I personally don't wanna be with the same person for the next 40 years. I don't. And after the 3 years are up and your still wanting more? You have that option to re sign your marriage contract. But every 3 years. I think its the only way to get through it like humans. Without shit hitting the fan. Peace. Good luck. Pray before meals. Pray for others less fortunate. Some deserve it. Some don't. And stay away from hoes with bros. Your friends girl is bad 360 degrees a day. Stay away. Temptation is a mofo. Not worth the agony it causes...

[@mrborat2493]

@@robbiedank7910 what are the symptoms for Crohn's?

[@imhim94ivan]

Real story: I was diagnosed with a severe case of Crohn’s at the age of 23. Perianal crohn’s to be specific. I practically spent the summer of 2016 in the hospital enduring surgeries upon surgeries. They tried everything on me, remicade, steroids, antibiotics, everything! Nothing was working... until that is I heard of a vegan/plant based diet thanks to my now wife. I wasn’t with it at first, however I decided to try a pescatarian diet, didn’t help me, then a vegetarian diet, still didn’t help me... 6 months later, I was fed up from the pain, the meds they were giving me were causing me other major problems, so I was like F it, I’m going plant based. My lovely lady made the transition with me to support each other’s health and well-being. And I kid you all not, within a matter of 2 weeks EVERYTHING I was experiencing due to Crohn’s was GONE. I never felt better before! I mean that. I come from eating mom’s fried chicken, cows milk, cheese, all that, now I eat everything like that still yet it’s just made plant based and honestly my food experiences now are even more tastier. It’s all about seasoning! You don’t need animal products for taste. A human and a lion are not the same. We are frugivores. Working out and eating plant based WILL make your Crohn’s disappear and I promise you’ll have your doctors mind boggled. I had the highest test score my doc ever saw for Crohn’s in his 30 years of practice. They all told me my life was over in kinder words. Boy I wonder what they would say now. I offer these words respectfully and in hopes to help someone who may also think like I once did that my life was over. May peace be upon you all.

The part 8 minutes in really resonates with me. I was 250 lbs two years ago, then committed myself to the gym and got down to a shredded 170 lbs on the keto diet, cardio and core work. This April I was forced off the road by another motorist on my motorcycle. I had no protective gear on since I was just making a short trip close to home. I fractured my hip joint on impact and I got raked across rocky ground until a big tree stopped me after my lower back crashed into it. If my core had not been so tough from working out, I know that I would have broken my spine. I have a big dent to the right side of it where the impact happened. Part of my hip joint was shattered, broke off and was surgically removed. It will probably take 6 months for it to grow back. I am hoping the screws holding it together will help me avoid hip replacement surgery but have no guarantees. I'm just thankful I was in good physical shape before the accident or it could have been much worse.

I was in a nasty motorcycle accident within the a couple week as kevin's. I broke 7 bones, deflated a lung, a bit of brain damage, and some nerve damage sprinkled on top. I 100% backup what he said, you cant let it defeat you mentally. I was in the mindset that im not going to let someone else's traffic mistake keep me from what I love, i started PT, did workouts on the side, and within about 3 months (much to everyones dismay), I was back riding. After about 2 weeks of having said bike I through on some new tires, and with a still slightly screwed up arm (had to have surgery wehere they put plates and screws in), i went to the canyons here in SoCal and was faster than ever (most likely due to me not remembering any of my hospital time or the accident itself, thus no post accident PTSD). If you ever find yourself in a similar situation where youre immobile from a life changing injury. Keep your head up and be your own biggest supporter, but also your own biggest critic. Its been 10 months since that accident and im stronger than ever, im more active and social and live and enjoy everyday, be it bad or good, its a gift to have that day, so appreciate it.

[@2HRTS1LOVE]

I applaud you for your recovery, but I'd strongly advise you to lose the bike. Everyone I've ever known with a bike has a great story about how they almost died on it, usually thru no fault of their own. That's the thing, you can't control the ididocy of others. Someday, it will catch up to you. I had knee surgery and went to PT with a guy who was just riding his bike down the road and got broadsided by a truck that ran a two way stop sign. His helmet and his ear came off, he was road rash head to toe, and his femur shot out of the hip socket and was sticking out of his back. He was 22 years old. I don't even know a lot of his other injuries. Thru no fault of his own. Thing is, VW vs. bike, VW wins, you lose. Maybe only ride where there are practically no other cars, because when you are that vulnerable, other drivers cannot be trusted.

[@user-me6mr3lw5l]

I've listened to this podcast before but listening to it again after going through surgery for cancer and chemo - It has a whole different level of depth to me now. He's articulated in this clip exactly how I've felt for the past 6 months, especially the part about realising what's important and prioritising family. They were there for me and I'll never forget it. Ever. And those who weren't, I'll never forget that either. No hard feelings but I can now go on through life without the rose tinted glasses and see everyone for who they truly are. Tragedies in life that open your eyes to such realities are actually blessings in disguise. And in a weird way I'm grateful. My focus now is on recovery and "beating me".

i had a motorcycle accident january 16 of this year and im just now being able to walk i broke 15 bones lost my kindey crushed my foot and i have metal in my arms and legs. my recovery was so shit at the beginning UNTILL my mindset changed and ive related to alot what kevin said. this keeps me very motivated and i hope it motivates alot more because recovery can be extremely hard but it teaches you alot about yourself and other thing💯💯

I had the same surgery done when I was 17 (9 years ago). The only difference is that I only had to have the two lowest vertebrae, L5 and S1, fused. Also mine had shattered into such small pieces that I had to have bone taken out of my hip then bone grafted to those vertebrae in order for the fusion to take correctly. Since I had the bone graft along with the fusion at the same time, I have two metal pins and four screws. All I could think/say is WOW when Kevin said that he refused to take pain meds right after getting out of the hospital and starting physical therapy.. when you first wake up from a spinal surgery they don't give you any pain meds right away so they can make sure you're not showing any signs of nerve damage and that all of your reflexes are normal. I've had spinal problems in my neck and back my whole life that have caused several other issues like nerve damage, hip problems and more so I have a very high pain tolerance but when I first woke up from that surgery I experienced the absolute worst, most mind numbing pain I've ever felt in my life. So bad that before the doctors were able to finish with their tests and get pain meds into my IV, I literally passed out from the pain. They kept me numb with the meds they were giving me and pretty much kept me out of it for the 3 weeks that I stayed in the hospital and for a good three, almost four, more months after going home. I remember feeling the pain meds start to wear off in between doses and being able to get a taste for how bad the pain still was. ESPECIALLY when I started physical therapy. Even if I dosed right before going and was feeling the full effects of the medicine, I had the same mind numbing pain the first few times I attempted to walk and carry my own weight. I tried to tough it out the best I could but honestly, I took every dose of pain medicine that was given to me for the first several months after leaving the hospital. I know Kevin has always been a hard working go getter but knowing from experience what he went through with his back surgery and knowing how intense that pain is then finding out he was able to stop taking the meds early and just deal with it on his own completely changes the way that I look at him. I have so much more respect for this man now! I've always been a huge fan just based on his stand up and movies alone but after finding out more about his will power, perseverance, and overall character as a man, I've became a fan of his on a whole new level!! I don't have social media anyway and even if I did I'm sure he'd never see a message from me with all the messages and comments he gets but I really wish there was some way I could just let him know how much love and respect that I've always had for him and how he has inspired me so much more after hearing him talk about this similar experience that we both had to go through.

The drive was the same but the driver wasn't! Priorities straight up flip flopped! When my daughter was born I truly became a man with all the responsibility and love and hard work drive.

I absolutely love Kevin Hart but I never thought I would’ve gotten one of the best inspirational speeches of my life from him. I mean it was just so genuine and he never came off like he was preaching. It was a awesome.

[@imbean103]

Kevin really inspired me here.During a soccer game I snapped both of the bones in my right leg. I was told the only possible way for me to walk correctly was to have a titanium rod and 4 screws put into my leg. Especially at the age of sixteen a whole new perspective of life fell upon me. From people telling me “what are you going to do now since you won’t be able to play sports?” “You won’t ever be able to play soccer AGAIN.” These people really angered me, but at the same time gave me the inspiration to prove them wrong. Writing this six months later I’m able to run not my fastest, but progress is still being made.This video changes the mindset I had on life, and now more than ever I’m hungry. Hungry to be better than I was before , and Kevin Hart will always be a big inspiration to me . A true hero.
