An Even Bigger Butterfly, Part 10.
Drummer Matt is maybe 6 feet tall. He weighed 170 pounds, tops, at the time of the accident. He spent at least an hour a day behind the kit, which keeps one limber, strong, and pretty happy (if Matt is any indication, anyway.)
I was 6'7", 340 pounds, and I spent about an hour a day working my forearm muscles (playing bass).
It is 73 feet from my front porch to the accident scene, and Matt was never within three feet until I stopped running.
Oddly, nobody got hurt except Matt and I. His legs were spent, and my chest was on fire.
Go figure.
