The man who lost everything below the waist was rushed to hospital and fed ketamine as a “last resort”.
In a tragic accident in 2019, Loren Schauers, 23, was horrifically split in two when the forklift he was operating plunged off a bridge and landed on him from a height of 50ft.
Displaying immense bravery and resilience since the incident, Loren has been sharing his life journey with his wife Sabia, 25, to their thousands of followers.

There's lots of quality news coming out of the US.
The couple were set to document a “day-in-the-life” during a trip to Salt Lake City on Sunday, August 18, on YouTube, but disaster struck when Loren suddenly complained of “immense” pain and started sweating profusely.
Instead, Sabia posted a rare one-person video to provide an update on the situation.
“I know we were set to go live today, but we’re not,” she began. “On Thursday, Loren’s pain was really bad - out of this world. So he had to go to the hospital where he was admitted.
“It turned out he had a pretty nasty kidney infection that had been festering for a while. So that’s why it came on so strong.
“I don’t know if they put him on a ketamine drip, or gave him ketamine - I’m not sure. But that should speak volumes to how much pain he was in - if that was their last resort.”
Loren spent Thursday and Friday night “pretty out of it” according to Sabia. “He trips really hard and I don’t really like seeing him like that,” she said.
Thankfully, the kidney stone that Loren was harbouring is “on the move”, with Sabia assuring fans her husband would likely be leaving the hospital that day (Sunday).
The forklift that fell on Loren in 2019 crushed his legs, pelvis and arm, leaving him with just his upper body. Doctors rushed to amputate his mangled limbs and the man lives on, and is now hoping for children although he struggles with health on a daily basis.
