After being cut in half in a forklift accident, a man has made a last-ditch appeal for Christmas Day.
After being involved in a terrible incident while working as a laborer back in September 2019, Loren Schauers has gained a following by sharing his life and rehabilitation.
When the forklift strayed off course when the 18-year-old was operating it across a bridge in the United States, he fell 50 feet to the ground.
The car pinned him to the ground, causing injuries that would change his life. After his pelvis was crushed completely, Schauers had to have everything below his waist removed, a procedure known as a hemicorporectomy, to preserve his life.
He also gave his followers an update on what he hoped to achieve this Christmas.
He wrote alongside his wife Sabia and shared the following on Facebook yesterday, November 17: “We would really appreciate your support and followers, and a 10K before Christmas would be amazing.
“Thank you so much for helping us build this community, everyone!”
They posted a screenshot of their combined account’s “Page Overview,” which indicates that they currently have 8,904 followers.
The man has been dealing with discomfort and challenges for a number of years after his bizarre tragedy.
“Loren is still not able to really go anywhere between the pain and not being able to use his bucket, so going to Mom and Dad’s was not a good plan,” stated a recent update on the Facebook on November 15.
Fortunately, our parents came out and prepared meals for us. When Dad realized he could just leave without doing any dishes or cleaning up, he particularly enjoyed it. I hope everyone has a restful week and I’ll see you all on Sunday. I love you all!
Five years after the accident, Schauers reminisced on a prior YouTube video, explaining that the pain was getting easier to handle.
He clarified that throughout the years, the rehabilitation methods he had learned from medical professionals have assisted in “erase the phantom pain.”
Five years later, he remarked, “pain is under control, and life is finally managed so that we can control it.”
It’s not as epic anymore, and things aren’t falling on us like bombs anymore, and I’m not sure how to describe it. With some things, we can sort of predict what will happen and know what to expect.
“Sabia and I are doing fantastic. We don’t get out very often. We definitely had a terrific time at Lollapalooza in Chicago.
