He recalled being worried about whether or not his body would function again given the various injuries, and pushing hard despite the physical pain involved. As he put it,
I chose to survive. That’s not gonna kill me, no way. I’ve lost a lot of flesh and bone in this experience, but I’ve been refueled and refilled with love and titanium.

Talk about a serious situation. Given all of this bodily damage, it's miraculous that Jeremy Renner is on the mend and able to do public appearances and televised interviews again. Although he might want to take it easy on Marvel-level action sequences for the time being.
