Hang in there buddy!
I broke a cervical vertibrae in high school. It changed my whole life. I was on the jr. olympic swimming team and had planned to pay for college with a scholarship.

But no joke, PM me if you ever need to bitch about your situation or revel in your successes. And hang in there.
