Bam Margera lucky life
You may remember, last month The Jackass alum was admitted to a San Diego hospital due to a case of COVID-19 and pneumonia. In time, the Margera family was sent to the stars Instagram page, updating fans with the situation which:
“Bam has just been hospitalized. Fortunately, he has now tested negative for COVID and is receiving treatment for pneumonia. Bam is on the road to recovery and thankfully will be discharged soon.

Now, he’s opening up more about his terrifying experience. When he stopped by his former co-star Stevo-O‘s Wild Ride! podcast Thursday, the 43-year-old explained:
“Actually, I was pronounced dead Elvis‘ birthday December 8, didn’t know I was like COVID, my body died and I had four seizures, each lasting 10 to 20 minutes.
Whoa that must have been really scary! He continued:
“On the fourth one, I bit my tongue until it almost fell off, it became so swollen and swollen it didn’t fit in my mouth and I drank infected blood which also caused pneumonia.”
Talk about going from bad to worse… The former professional skateboarder added the healer he found brought him to seek help:
“The doctor took me to the hospital, I had five seizures and I couldn’t breathe without a tube in my throat. I woke up five days later thinking I was there for a few hours, they were like, ‘Wow, you’ve been here for almost a week. We tried to take the tube out and you’re not breathing on your own.’”

wow We cannot imagine what a storm must have been.

This all comes after the former MTV star has been struggling with rehab stays throughout the course of 2022. If you don’t remember, most recently, he ran away from a court-ordered rehab facility before cutting ties with his parents in early September. A few weeks after that, Bam is back in rehab but with a restructuring of the court-order, which is no longer necessary to remain in-patient. Instead, he was given an outpatient program, but must remain vigilant, attend court-mandated classes, and schedule visits with a psychiatrist.
We’re so glad Bam made it through that scary hospital visit. Who knows, maybe it will give it a new life? What is your reaction, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments and check out the full podcast below.
