Reflecting on this unexpected setback, May highlighted the fragility of life and how close he was to a comeback, emphasizing both the seriousness of the situation and its impact on his outlook.
"It was definitely a life-altering event. It was definitely very serious. It's not a very common surgery. It was definitely an emergency."
