The legend said that he can now comfortably drive and be independent, which he believes is a miracle of god because he initially was not supposed to be able to do any of that.
"I was never supposed to be partially paralyzed. I'm what they call a 'high-functioning quadriplegic.' I have some challenges mobility wise but, you know, I can live independently and feed and bathe myself. I was not supposed to be able to do any of that, I can drive my own car and live independently, so it's really a miracle of God that I can do what I can do," Lex Luger said. [6:31 - 6:52]

In the same podcast, Lex Luger further talked about how he feels more physically as well as mentally balanced now.
"I kinda look at [the] big picture. I feel like I was kinda streamlined and redefined. I was always about the physical Lex, you know, I can't talk about mind, body, and spirit when I get motivational, respirational talks and I was kinda one-dimensional. I was all about the physical, a little bit about the mental... a lot of positive mental attitude, books and everything, and Jim Rohn, a lot of that stuff which gave me, like, worldly success in wrestling and in the business world, but I was spiritually dead, and I feel so much more balanced now," Lex Luger said.
