That is just an astonishing level of strength and willpower when he could have easily just drowned himself in depression or given up in his hospital bed.īig up the doctors and of course his girlfriend Sabia for sticking by him as well. Doctors gave Loren next to no chance of surviving but he managed to make it out of the hospital alive after four months of rehab, even after doctors said he would be hospitalised for a year and a half.
