Being a real lifter is not about a number, or a medal, or somebody else telling you that you are a real lifter. It is about commitment to the iron and strength of purpose.
Lets hope you are ok and back in fighting shape again. I have been knocked down many times in life. But I get back up and fight back.

His 4th diagnosis was his ocular cancer. He was already blind in one eye, because of an injur when he was 10YO), and he decided to teach himself all his musical instruments before he went completely blind (he plays banjo, guitar, violuin, mandolin, and more) while he was going blind and said to me: "Lisa, this isn't going to get me. None of these will."
He has since had a diagnosis of a 5th primary, and his attitude has not changed.
God Bless you. Stay strong. Healing thoughts and prayers sent your way.

The kind of shape you were in is the kind of shape you will be in after you get through this and get back to the iron.
