Just had my first MRI follow up this week. Doctor said everything is looking good! Scheduled another MRI in 1 year.

My ugly mug is slowly healing haha. I can shut my right eye tight now. Feeling really blessed today and getting excited for this season! Good luck to everyone hoping to draw tags

Scary things happen and really make you rethink about your everyday moves. Glad your having a good recovery and are still able to do the things you enjoy!

Wow, talk about a well deserved prize, your story is very inspirational and a good reminder to those who are in good health to not take it for granted! I planned an 8 mile hike today, will make it 11 in your honor!

Hiked King’s Peak last Saturday which is the tallest mountain in Utah! It was a grind mentally and physically but still reached my goal of climbing it in 1 day. I’ve bought into the mentality that the body will give you what you ask of it

Very happy for your progress. It is amazing how much more your body can take even when the brain wants to stop.

Sitting here with a wicked case of covid feeling sorry for myself. Read this whole thread and it occurred to me maybe it was time to end my pity-party.

Congrats on overcoming some serious hardship friend. Truly an inspirational read.

Incase you missed it, you should check out his goat hunt.



Pretty impressive recovery. Hats off to Cody, that's some serious drive.

Cody, you are an inspiration to us all. Keep up the good work - stay strong!

I can relate to your story very well. My now 25 year old son went through the same exact ordeal when he was eleven. Go Ducks!!!
