Two-time Oscar nominee Jeremy Renner, whose horrific snowplow accident — a result of a heroic effort to save his nephew on New Year’s Day — left him with over 30 broken bones, posted a video for the first time publicly showing him upright and walking.

According to a Nevada sheriff’s office incident report, the tragic incident began when Renner, 52, used his 14,000-pound PistenBully snowcat to pull his nephew’s truck out of his driveway. Once the truck was on the street, the snowplow began “sliding sideways,” and then “began to roll down the hill,” prompting Renner to jump out without setting the emergency brake. But then Renner realized the snowplow was headed toward his nephew. Renner tried to enter the snowplow’s cab but in order to do so he had to climb onto its moving track. He was “immediately pulled under the left side track,” the report added

“I now have to find OTHER things to occupy my time so my body can recover from my will. #minduful #intended #recovery,” Renner wrote on his Twitter post, which showed him walking while telling an older man, “It’s like having a cane, using this kind of weight.”

“That’s seriously cool,” the older man responds. “And you’re totally doing the walking motion.”

“Correct. Exactly, with only 40% of my weight,” Renner explains.

“His ability to do stunts is, firstly, not going to return to him for many months and, secondly, he might not be quite as agile as he was previously, even if his physical exercise tolerance improves back to normal,” intensive care doctor Ron Daniels told The Daily Mail in February.

“We tend to say to people who’ve survived severe injury in intensive care that you’ll be back to 90 percent of your normal self within about 12 to 18 months after you leave hospital,” Daniels continued. “He will suffer psychologically as well as physically and require support and rehabilitation for a period of many months after his injury to recover his full function. Almost certainly, he will have a degree of pain and stiffness in the broken limbs, and chest wall stiffness following the chest trauma.”

New York physiotherapist Dr. Karena Wu added, “With so many systems and bones, muscles and tissues involved, Mr. Renner will probably be doing physical therapy at a minimum of three times a week to up to five times a week for at least several months to up towards a year.”

Dozens of deaths across New York have involved a flesh-eating deadly “zombie” drug used to sedate animals dubbed “Tranq,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said on Sunday.

Tranq, formally known as Xylazine — particularly when mixed with fentanyl — has been trending in the U.S., causing federal officials to warn Americans of the alarming widespread threat it poses to the public. Commonly known as the tranq or zombie drug by traffickers, the substance reportedly causes an extended euphoric feeling and is commonly used as a pharmaceutical drug to sedate animals. However, human use can result in severe wounds — including necrosis of the affected tissue — that could potentially lead to amputation.

Schumer told reporters during a press conference that the drug has spread from Syracuse, Albany, Rochester, and Greater New York City, calling on federal authorities to fund efforts and deploy a control team to stop the drug from being distributed.

“This new drug is a nightmare,” Schumer said, according to The New York Post. “Xylazine is dangerous. It is deadly. It is here. We have to fight and fund.”

The National Institute of Drug Abuse labels Xylazine as a non-opioid veterinary tranquilizer linked to the increasing number of overdose deaths nationwide, most related to Xylazine and fentanyl and additional deadly substances.

Dr. Mike Varshavski, a licensed physician and YouTuber known as Doctor Mike, reportedly joined Schumer during the press conference, echoing recent federal warnings about the deadly zombie-like drug.

“We saw tremendous negative side effects this drug had, including respiratory depression, essentially shutting off the drive to continue breathing,” Varshavski said.

Last week, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) seized fentanyl mixed with a Tranq in 48 states, warning the American public of a widespread threat.

“Xylazine is making the deadliest drug threat our country has ever faced, fentanyl, even deadlier,” Administrator Anne Milgram said in a news release.

Milgram said the DEA Laboratory System reported approximately 23% of fentanyl powder and 7% of fentanyl pills seized by the DEA contained Xylazine in 2022.

Between 2015 and 2020, the Northeastern region of the U.S. saw the largest impact from overdose deaths involving Xylazine, with Pennsylvania increasing from 2% of overdose deaths to nearly 26%. Maryland reported 19% of all drug overdoses in 2021 involved Xylazine and 10% in Connecticut in 2020.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 107,735 Americans died between August 2021 and August 2022 from drug poisonings, with 66% of those deaths involving synthetic opioids like fentanyl, according to the news release.

DEA authorities blamed the vast majority of fentanyl trafficked into the United States on the Sinaloa Cartel and Jalisco Cartel in Mexico, which primarily source the chemicals from China.

Schumer introduced a plan last week to combat the increasing number of Tranq users, which would authorize the Food and Drug Administration to track down the drug and spend $537 million for law enforcement and more on drug tests. The plan would be paid for with grant funding for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, local media reported.

“If we can launch all three of these approaches, the chances of Xylazine becoming the kind of scourge that it has in other places has decreased greatly,” Schumer said.
