“Did not know that I had like, gnarly Covid, my frame was shutting down and I went into four seizures, and each one lasting 10 to twenty mins and on the fourth one, I bit my tongue so hard, it was like, nearly falling off,” he explained. “It was swollen and puffy and wouldn’t have compatibility in my mouth and I was drinking infected blood, which gave me pneumonia as neatly. So when the shaman took me to the hospital I went on my fifth seizure, I couldn’t breathe and not using a tube down my throat.”

“So I woke up five days later considering I was there for a pair hours — like, dude you’ve been right here for just about every week,” Margera endured. “We tried to take the tube out and also you weren’t breathing on your own. So I spent eight days in there, and dude once they took that tube out I felt like I sucked on Darth Vader’s d—k. I had to spit tea and f—king lozenges the entire reside long day.”

Revealing that his heart had if truth be told stopped beating, Margera told Steve-O and his cohost Scott Randolf that he didn’t have a near-death revel in, but simply “blacked out.”

Well, if anyone can be brutally fair with you, it’s your closest pals. And optimistically from right here on out, Margera remains not off course with his health and restoration.
