The last few weeks have been a mental and physical obstacle course and a lot of things have been going through my mind. What if this or that.. and so many quotes that just seemed to pop in and out. Little tidbits of wisdom and humor.
Two have been a bit more prevalent in my mind than the others.

"Not every dark cloud has a silver lining, Sometimes whats behind them is much much worse." From the TORG RPG

And

“I’ve been thinking. When life gives you lemons? Don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought is could give me lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s going to burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m going to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!”
Cave Johnson from the portal game series.

Yeah did a lot of thinking, some crazier than others. And a lot of work moving forward working with the insurance company, Getting a new car, healing up. And dealing with two panic attacks over the last few weeks.
Taking a little time for some fun with a convention and just forgetting everything for a few days. A lot of laughs and good humor some of the best medicine around.
But ever looking forward and dreading what may be said next when I go in for the next checkup.
Which was yesterday.
Starting Monday im going to be rehabing my back and shoulder. But for the foreseeable future the idea of heavy lifting or power lifting is out of the question the heavy strain and motions being something that will bring the worst in a all ready compromised spine. Which im told will probably never be 100%. But I can workout, tone and sculpt but probably never have the mass I had before.
Which I will say was my safety blanket. I felt good, made me feel confident, more assure of myself knowing I was a bit more than. Its a hard thing to really describe but it felt good especially after a good workout.
What am I going to do?
Im going to rehab, to see where i can take myself and then go there.
How do I feel?
Uncertain, nervious, fustrated. Many people know how quickly ones life can change, Many in more extreme ways than I have been dealing with. If they can go forward. Then whats stopping me?
Nothing but myself. So its time for me to get out of my way and go forward.

I want to thank everyone for there prayers and kind words. The support is keeping me going the wind in my sails.

I know I'm just some random guy on the internet, but once your current medical team has you back to performing regular, everyday tasks without pain or physical inhibition, you might want to consider getting some second opinions from doctors who specialize in returning athletes to their initial level of activities.  Sadly, most doctors are relatively sedentary in their lifestyles, so they don't really understand weightlifting and take an overly risk averse approach to their patients who lift.  Fortunately, there are some medical professionals (Check out this guy, for example: breakingmuscle.com/mobility-re…) who specialize in getting athletes back to full performance following severe injuries.  While it is possible that you may have limitations that are insurmountable, I wouldn't take the first doctor's word for it without getting some other opinions.  If I were a betting man, even without knowing all the particulars of your injuries, I would wager that you'll be lifting heavy again in the future.

Best of luck and fast healing!
