"I Woke Up With No Hands" | The Reality of "Flesh-Eating Disease"

from Sickboy

You know that irrational fear that a simple sore throat or a gym injury might actually be something way worse? Well, for Scott, that nightmare became a reality in the most terrifying way possible. At 35, Scott was living the dream as an elite, nationally ranked college soccer coach. He was unstoppable—until he wasn't. After feeling under the weather which doctors initially dismissed as a minor illness turned out to be Group A Strep, which rapidly evolved into Necrotizing Fasciitis (the media loves to call it "flesh-eating disease," but Scott sets the record straight). He woke up a month later from a coma to discover he had become a quadruple amputee. It’s a story about losing your body, finding your heart, and the resilience it takes to keep playing the game.Scott's book 'Play From Your Heart' is available now for pre-order: https://librarytalespublishing.com/products/play-from-your-heartYou can watch this entire episode over on YouTube.Follow Sickboy on Instagram, TikTok and Discord.
