I was lying in a hospital bed with an IV in my arm, unable to move, having these headaches where it feels like you're having a stroke, and for a short three-week period, I started to think, 'I may have to do something drastic about this'... but I never thought I'd get there. See, I was in a place where I was trying to figure out how to survive."
