Ain't nothing but a chicken wing mang. Just another bump in the road. Just because you can't walk doesn't mean you can't lift. Work on your upper body until your wheels start spinning again. Use it for motivation to work harder and longer. Pretty soon you will be tossing that wheelchair across the gym screaming "Fuck you wheelchair. I beat your ass. You just got owned motherfucker!!"

This is the determination you need now, refuse to quit!!!
Several years back 2 weeks before contest time i severely tore my pec & Bicep all at once,tendons along with nerve tissue went also, this left my right arm dangling,completely useless,i could move my fingers but that was it.
I went to several Drs all said the same thing "Hang it up"
Those believe me are the worst words you will ever want to hear.
It took over 5 years but i was determined to move my arm again, trying and failure after failure, i was determined to beat this.Then one evening sitting on the sofa watching tv during a commercial i mentally prepaired myself for another attempt-to my suprise my arm went halfway up,it felt like i weighed 100lbs but the thought if it actually moving overwhemmed me so much that i could barely contain myself, following the next commercial i made another attempt after feeling i have had plenty of rest i attempted another this time after going what seemed like a one rep max that took forever i managed to succeed in getting my arm completely extended over my head,and i managed to hold it there a few seconds before exhausting myself once more.
Today i have 95% mobility, and the strength is close to 90% i will never be able to compete again, but i can train again and thats all that matters!
You have my prayers----Be strong and above all..never, never give up!
