One year ago today my life was completely changed. While playing the game I love, I fractured my C6 and C7 bone on my spinal cord. I went through surgery, multiple procedures, being on a ventilator, my left lung collapsing, and many other complications. Luckily, I was blessed with an amazing family, group of friends, and community that helped me push through the most difficult time of my life. This injury has put a whole different perspective on life. You've got to live everyday to the fullest. Don't take anything for granted. It could be worse. No I'm not talking about my situation, it could be worse itself. It's hard not to think "Why me?" I guess God has a different plan for me. I just have to accept that on move on. It's been a wild 365 days. I try to think of this injury as a blessing not a curse. I have met new people who have encouraged me in many ways and made connections that will help me throughout the rest of my life. I would like to say thank you to everyone who has prayed for me. I'm not giving up! I have been doing physical therapy for a while now and I will continue doing that throughout the summer along with making occasional trips to Atlanta. It's in Gods hands now! #FightFor5
