I'm out of the game my friends

Thaibox, I've been reading your posts here ... I think it's always difficult to accept change. In your case, though, you need your surgeries to become better and they are just temporary setbacks...keyword is temporary.

Let me tell you this..my hubby had 2 surgeries on his back because he had hematomas which at the time were believed to be malignant. Fortunately, they were benign, but it took the wind out of husband's sail for a very long time. He's been training since he was in his teens and this was a difficult time, especially for someone like him who trained hard just like you. It took time for him to heal (almost 2 years), but he has made a full recovery and has been making phenomenal gains, especially in regards to strength.

I, too, believe things happen for a reason. Maybe this situation will not only make you stronger physically, but also mentally. I'm glad to read that you don't plan on quitting entirely. Remember this is just temporary. Good luck!

Thai... you have had a great deal of adversity... but with every adversity, there is an opposite reaction. It is the way of things.

Who are the doctors to say you will never deadlift or squat again? Medical science is constantly developing...

And then again, if you do never squat or deadlift again... there are many other things in the world that you can succede at... you may find your place in any number of them. Wounds heal, chicks dig scars and glory lasts forever. (The replacement players)

Spatts said it best... doors don't close with out others being opened... look toward the future and make it the best you can... and you will be happy, no matter what life throws at you!
