Although as I recall Governor Greg Abbott is in a wheelchair today due to scalding hot water from a shower.

And he’s no idiot.

Gov. Abbott had a tree fall on him.

Abbott was out running, when a large oak tree along his path cracked and
fell on Abbott’s back, leaving him forever paralyzed from the waist down.

A tree fell on him while jogging, I believe.

You seem to have misremembered that story.
"I was in a shower with scalding water on my feet," said Abbott, who is paralyzed from the waist down and uses a wheelchair. "Because of my paralysis, I couldn't feel the burns that were taking place, and as a consequence, it was like having my feet in scalding water for several minutes. And it resulted in third-degree burns to my feet."
The real story was that he could not tell he was being burned for two minutes because he was paralyzed and couldn't feel it.

So maybe not an idiot.

I seem to remember Gov. Abbott saying that a tree or tree limb fell on him.
