In the caption he explained what happened. Bedal had woken up a few days earlier unable feel or move anything below the middle of her back where she had fractured her vertebrae. Upon examinations at the hospital, it was discovered that spinal fluid was leaking into her back, causing the temporary paralysis. Doctors were able to stop the leaking and reverse the temporary paralysis. Howard also said in the caption, he was terrified. That sentiment echoed through a few of his comment chains specifically with ABT Principle Dancer, Roberto Bolle, and National Teammate, Clint Dempsey.
