    "I'm lucky to be here, alive, standing and hugging my family, projected to make a full recovery," he wrote.

    "And I'm really starting to understand the meaning of gratitude. For the big and little things before the accident, and now everything moving forward."

    So, here's what happened on Aug. 5, according to Nev. "Monday was a day where I learned what 'before the accident' really means. And Monday gave weight to just how lucky I was to have Sunday. It's true what they say - life can change in an instant."

    Just the day before, Nev shared that his family had spent time together on a fishing trip and while it was "magical" and a "day full of love and wonder," the following Monday was very different.

    "I never made it to pick up my son from school on the bike," he continued. "In fact in some ways, I'm glad I didn't. I was alone on impact. Me and the truck."

    "And then I guess the pavement. I was alone and unconscious. And then conscious. Maybe I was fine (I wasn't). Maybe I can still do my long run on Thursday (I couldn't)."

    "I broke my neck. C5 and C6 to be exact. Stable fractures," Nev shared. "I'm not paralyzed. My hands were a question mark there for a minute but the human body is incredible and so are HUMANS."

    Showing his support for the medical professionals who've helped him, Nev wrote, "The incredible knowledge and care from everyone in the medical community has been so remarkable. Starting with the EMS and on to the Southampton Emergency Room and the Stony Brook ICU. It's hard to feel sorry for myself when I hear from the doctors about how many people with similar injuries will never walk again."

    He shared a series of graphic photos of the accident, including X-ray photographs of the fractures and the aftermath of the surgery.

    Here's an actual X-ray photo of the fractures before the surgery.

    Apparently, this is the helmet that he had worn during the accident.
