You'll bounce back well James. My best friend had to have a couple of vertebrae in his neck fused when we were in college. He was a senior cadet at the time and they tried medicaling him out of service due to the injury. He made a full recovery and passed the medical review board a few months later just before he was commissioned as an officer. A couple of years later, he had to have another proceedure to fuse two more and quickly recovered and even served a really rough combat tour in Iraq afterwards. I have no doubt you'll do fine.
