"30 Days" In a Wheelchair - FX Network 06/10/08

Has anyone seen the show "30 Days"? It's from the filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, who was made famous by his documentary, Super Size Me. He also has a show on the FX Network, "30 Days." Either he or a participant take part in 30 days of typically what they don't have knowledge of/oppose/don't agree with (border guard living with illegal immigrants, meat eater living with vegans living off the land, mother showing daughter effects of binge drinking, etc.)

Tuesday's (06/10/08), will air with retired football player, Ray Crockett using a wheelchair for 30 days. He will use a modified vehicle. His home will be made accessible.

"In 1991, Ray was on the field with the Detroit Lions when his teammate and friend, Mike Utley, was involved in a play that left him paralyzed from the chest down - an event that has not dissipated from Ray's memory. In fact, it is this incident that made Ray want to participate in 30 Days.

For 30 Days, Ray will live in a wheelchair and will rely on his mental discipline to keep his legs immobile. His home and his car will be retrofitted to accommodate his needs. Coaching duties for his son's football team will continue and Ray will join the Texas Stampede, the wheelchair rugby team featuring players made famous in the documentary film Murderball. He will attend a weekly support group for paraplegics at the Baylor Institute of Rehabilitation and meet with a physical therapist to monitor any potential side effects.

Throughout his 30 Days experience, Ray will be under the medical supervision of Dr. Robert Bruce in order to track any muscle loss, blood clots, pressure sores or other side effects that could occur while he is wheelchair-bound."
