He paints a vivid picture of the terrifying trip to the hospital, the uncertainty of what lay ahead, and the disruption of his life. But, it's not all gloom and despair.

He is a testament to the power of humor in navigating life's toughest challenges. Tune in to hear Andy's inspiring story, and learn how he found laughter, love, and life amid adversity.
