It has been six months since being accidentally shot with a pellet gun and four months since my open heart surgery to repair the aorta valve. I thought I was prepared for the surgery and the recovery. I really wasn't... I wasn't ready for the pain and I didn't know why I was so depressed. I had a lot of support from my family and friends and my church. I especially wasn't ready to have to start practically from scratch physically. I'd been playing sports since I was six years old and now at 17 I had to start all over. But now I am pretty much at full strength and I even won a 5k race. Now I only have one more hurdle to clear before I can return to contact football in August. I go back to doctor july 14th to make sure I am completely healed
