During much of his 232-day hospitalization at Parkland, his few weeks at Texas Institute of Rehabilitation and Research at Houston, and his subsequent 6-month stay at University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, he insisted that treatment be discontinued and that he be allowed to die.

It wouldn’t just hurt when I would throw it would also while I wasn’t throwing it would come and go.
