Thank you so much Midnight Blue. That post really resonated and you sorted of touched on an outlook I needed to hear. I appreciate it.
Dee, the Neurosurgeon who performed the surgery has known me for 15 years. If your saying it's bogus because he said I can't do Jiu Jitsu anymore it's just because he knows me personally, and knows that I would continue to train at the highest level, which means heavy top notch competition, which would likely re injure me. Teaching would be easily doable, but I couldn't just teach and not train. I can't do it half in, and he's aware of that.
