‘I want to thank everybody. I’ve been through something, I’ve been through some things,’ he continued.
‘I cherish every single minute now — it’s different. I wouldn’t wish what I went through on my worst enemy because it’s tough when it’s almost over … when you see the tunnel. I saw the tunnel — I didn’t see the light.
‘It was hot in that tunnel too, I don’t know where I was going. ‘S**t, am I going to the right place?’”
Jamie initially returned to Instagram after the scare on May 3 to thank his followers with a text post.
