“I was sitting in a trailer, and all the work and the stress it brought with it, coupled with not enough sleep to recuperate mentally, caught up with me,” the 52-year-old wrote. “I went from feeling totally normal to thinking about what I needed to do that day and all of a sudden I felt as if I couldn’t move … I was completely frozen.”
