This is when the reality of medical retirement hit me hard. I woke up from the fog, sporting this absurd turtle shell. The feeling in my leg had returned, and I was gearing up to walk with a walker. I couldn’t shake the thought: if I don’t heal, the Army will kick me out.
I wish I had photos of me using that walker. The weight of gravity on my lower lumbar and injured ankle felt immense, but I pushed through and did what I had to for the next stage of healing. That journey led to a complete disc replacement and ankle reconstruction.
It was during this time that Alpha Elite Performance started as a thought in my recovering damaged brain. After eight weeks of brain treatment and stem cell therapy, we’ve managed to keep the momentum going for ten incredible years! And if you’re a customer, it’s because of you and we thank you. Thank you for sticking with us through the ups and downs, the good the bad and the ugly. We thank you.
