“I was in survival mode, you feel me?”
As one does after climbing out of a deep ditch with multiple broken bones, Angus then took the bus and headed to his mother’s house. “I was 14 or 15,” Angus said. “She thought I was on drugs, ’cause my pupils was hella dilated. I was trying to tell her what happened, but I could only start a sentence — I couldn’t finish it. So I was like, ‘I’m just gonna go sleep in my bed.’”
Seeing how grave his concussion was, Angus’s mother did not allow him to lie down, which he now acknowledges saved his life. “I would have died. She gave me some water, and I started throwing up hella mouthfuls of crimson red blood. Sh*t was crazy,” Angus continued. “So then my mama took me to the children’s hospital, and they saved my life. That’s what the scar’s from.”
However, the scar is not from the fall itself, but rather the surgeries he had to undergo to remedy the damage. “They cut my head open, they put some screws and a plate over where I broke my skull and — sh*t, sealed me back up, and that was that,”recounts, sharing that he also spent five days in the ICU “loaded off morphine” and some extra days in non-intensive care units before he was finally discharged.
“The brain is so fragile,” Angus added. “It was damn near like nothing really happened. I’m so blessed to just have minor brain damage. You know, it’s so minor it ain’t even really worth speaking about.”Want more great Culture stories from
