Surgery and Kentucky were both a success!

My surgery was a success! Although my neck is still very stiff and I still don't have full neck movement yet, I'm doing well. The odontoid screw fixation process took about an hour. When I woke up my neck was very swollen and it was extremely hard to swallow. I am thankful that the surgery was able to be scheduled last Friday so I could make it to my interview with Chris McCarron. I have been through a lot over the past few months on the way to  fulfilling my goals: almost died in a car accident, had to wear a halo for almost 3 months, graduated from high school even though it was challenging at times, went through a spinal surgery since the halo didn't work, and had a wonderful interview with Mr. McCarron. There are no words to describe how thankful, excited and blessed I am. My passion and life long dream lay before me. I'm currently waiting to see if I passed the interview and I should know within a week.
