“Catfish” host Nev Schulman shared videos and images of the injuries he sustained after a horrifying accident nearly left him paralyzed. The famous television host told his fans and followers that he was “lucky to be here,” as he explained he broke his in a bike . He explained he went fishing with his family on Sunday and his the very next day.

“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,” Schulman wrote to his Instagram page.

“It’s true what they say – life can change in an instant.” Schulman detailed his experience as he documented his painful injuries. X-ray images showed the damage to his neck and additional hospital photographs showed the red, raw incision at the base of his neck, after undergoing medical procedures.

Schulman’s face was bloodied and hospital video footage captured his struggle to stand from his bed, while wearing a neck collar. The photographs showed the damage to his helmet, which seemed to have taken the brunt of the hit and played a role in saving his life. “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,” he said.

“And then I guess the pavement. I was alone and unconscious. And then conscious.

Maybe I was fine (I wasn’t). Maybe I can still do my long run on Thursday (I couldn’t).” NEW YORK, NEW .
