How tough is Anchorage firefighter Ben Schultz? That is what he says he found out over the last several months after a devastating fall from a ladder in June in Anchorage.
"I'd say the biggest positive is that I've seen the worst part of my life and seeing how I can overcome that," Schultz said while recovering in Omaha, Nebraska. "With the Lord's help and family and friends and their support; and I go, okay, I can handle a lot and I'm looking forward to what the future's going to provide."
Schultz sat down for a one-on-one interview with KTVA 11 last week in Omaha. KTVA visited Schultz at Quality Living Inc.'s rehabilitation campus, where he's undergoing therapy.
During his stay, the firefighter has worked on firefighting and EMS training. He has also done plenty of cardio therapy, including swimming. He is in rehab between six and eight hours a day during the week.
