On a call with “The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers” podcast, Jorma revealed he shattered his pelvis and detached his sacrum after falling at his Connecticut farmhouse — all while climbing a busted ladder to paint a birthday mural for his daughter, despite a buddy warning him it was sketchy.
Jorma says he was 20 feet up when the rickety ladder gave out — life flashing before his eyes before he crash-landed on his backside … and yeah, that pain went straight up!
At the hospital, Jorma went under the knife — and docs say he’s looking at 3 to 6 months before he’s walking again, with rehab to fully recover.
Still, he’s keeping his spirits up, calling the fall life-changing … but thankful it wasn’t life-ending.
