ing his stunned “why God?!” reaction when the reality started to set in.
Though the accident was life-altering, Reynolds has handled it the way he handles most things, with a joke ready. He gave a nod to the medical team who patched him up: “I’d like to thank Dr. Meek at the General Hospital for putting me back together so kindly. Socialized medicine, he couldn’t say no.”
In a 2011 interview with CTV News, Reynolds opened up about just how long the road to recovery really was. These days, he looks back on that younger version of himself as “a rickety, broken mess,” and reflects on how radically different his story could have been if he’d made a different choice that night.
