Walter Trout Gives Post Live Transplant Interview
. "Around a month ago I woke up to find I was bleeding out of my butt," he reveals. "Over the next 20 minutes I lost all of the blood in my body - they had to replace 13 pints - and went into a coma for three days. After that I had this thing called an encephalopathy, which is temporary brain damage. I couldn't speak English and didn't know who I was or recognize anybody else. Basically, I was a vegetable and that condition lasted another six or seven days. I should have been dead at that point." However, Trout survived. His body did not reject the new liver (he's unaware of the donor's identity). He is beginning to regain weight and his faculties are returning. He's even jovial enough to make a quip about his surname. "My biggest problem is recovering from the surgery because I've been filleted like a fish� hey, there's a joke for you," he laughs. "So my sense of humour is back but I need to work on my strength because after losing 100lbs I don't have enough muscles in my forearm to bend a [guitar] string. I don't know if I'll ever get back to where I was before, but I'm going to try." more on this story Classic Rock Magazine is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
