Cairns told Stuff, “I’m really lucky to be here, that’s without a doubt,” Chris Cairns said.
“I had an aortic dissection, which has a high fatality rate.” One in every four people dies in the early stages. Then there was the issue of brain damage, which was high on the agenda as a result of the events. “I consider myself ahead, regardless of where I end up as a result of the spinal stroke issues,” Chris Cairns added.
