Nev Shulman broke his neck in a bike accident
The popular reality TV host shared the details via his Instagram. He included a “trigger warning” to alert readers that “the following slides contain images of medical trauma and severe injury.” However, Nev shared his entire story in the caption for those who wanted to skip the photos.
“I went fishing with my family on Sunday. It was incredible, my son’s idea. One of those days that just work. A day full of love and wonder in the way only calm days in nature with family can be,” Nev wrote.
“Monday was not a day like that. Monday was a day where I learned what “before the accident” really means. And Monday gave weight to just how lucky I was to have Sunday. It’s true what they say – life can change in an instant,” he said.
Nev continued, “I never made it to pick up my son from school on the bike. In fact in some ways, I’m glad I didn’t. I was alone on impact. Me and the truck. And then I guess the pavement. I was alone and unconscious. And then conscious.” That sounds so terrifying.
“I broke my neck. C5 and C6 to be exact. Stable fractures. I’m not paralyzed. My hands were a question mark there for a minute but the human body is incredible and so are HUMANS,” Nev said. He went on to thank everyone who helped care for him.
“I’m lucky to be here, alive, standing and hugging my family, projected to make a full recovery. And I’m really starting to understand the meaning of gratitude. For the big and little things before the accident, and now everything moving forward,” Nev stated. All of Nev’s fans are also grateful that he is on the mend.
Reality Tea sends their best wishes to Nev for a speedy recovery.
