- Bam Marger says he was basically declared dead after 4 seizures.
- Bam Marger is now able to laugh about the entire ordeal.
- He posted a picture of himself and his pal Johnny Schillereff.
Bam Margera “was virtually proclaimed dead” following a string of seizures he experienced while being treated for pneumonia in the hospital last month.
On Thursday’s episode of “Steve-Wild O’s Ride!” podcast, the former professional skateboarder made an appearance and detailed how a “gnarly” case of COVID-19 caused his health issues.
During the fourth seizure, he chewed his tongue so hard that it nearly fell off. “My body was shutting down and I went into four convulsions, each lasting 10 to 20 minutes,” he claimed.
“I was drinking infected blood, which gave me pneumonia as well, so when the shaman drove me to the hospital I went on my sixth seizure, and I couldn’t breathe without a tube down my throat,” the patient said. “It was big and puffy and wouldn’t fit in my mouth.”
The former “Jackass” star thought he had only been in the hospital for a few hours when, in fact, he had been there for eight days until he awoke five days later.
He made a joke about feeling like he had sucked on Darth Vader’s d-k when they removed the tube. “I would savor tea and lozenges throughout the entire day.”
Margera is now able to laugh about the entire ordeal, but Steve-O admitted he initially believed his pal was going to pass away after seeing him on a ventilator.
He quickly followed that up with a grin and said, “F—king Bam better not die. He’s on my tour; he’ll mess everything up!
Marger told the podcast host that he “didn’t have an out-of-body experience,” but rather “blacked out,” and that he was grateful that he didn’t remember almost passing out or that his heart had stopped.
The announcement comes three weeks after Margera posted on social media to celebrate being discharged from the hospital.
He posted a picture of himself and his pal Johnny Schillereff on Instagram with the remark, “I’m out!” “I’m grateful for the love, support, and prayers from my family, friends, and you.”
