Florida man remains optimistic after losing arm in alligator attack.

TL;DR Summary
Jordan Rivera, a 23-year-old man, lost his arm in an alligator attack at a pond behind a bar in Port Charlotte, Florida. He fell into the pond near closing time and was immediately airlifted to Gulf Coast Medical Center for urgent medical attention. Despite losing his arm, Rivera remains optimistic and grateful for the people who helped him. He rejects rumors that he was feeding the gator and instead wants to spread awareness about the dangers of Florida's prehistoric predators. Doctors are focused on keeping the infection from spreading, and the 10-foot gator responsible for the attack was euthanized.
