Impossible means nothing to one firefighter in Lawrence, Massachusetts, who is now back to the job he loves after a motorcycle crash that nearly killed him. Here's the inspiring story of 49-year-old Miguel Baez.
Still, it was an awakening that changed his life.
“When I woke up from the coma, I was told that I had a blood clot near my heart that had nothing to do with the accident. That if they wouldn’t have found it during that period of time, I probably would have had a heart attack a few weeks later.”With a new lease on life, embracing both firefighting and faith, Baez made it his mission to stay positive and get back to work.
“I had to learn how to walk again,” he explained. “Through rehab we started doing a lot of climbing ladders, started doing a lot of pushing things.” He started with light duty at the fire station and has since earned his way -- officially -- to fulltime.The hero is now back on the truck, perhaps after making the biggest rescue of all. Baez… saved himself.Baez is now sharing his story on social media with other amputees, including firefighters, to help motivate them to keep going.This article tagged under:
