So fitting that you're name is Rocky. "It ain't about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward." - Rocky Balboa. No doubt your physical strength going in contributed to your ability to pull through something that would have permanently sidelined many men. More impressive is the mental strength that forced you to reject defeat and complacency and allowed you to get back on the bike and keep riding.

What a great message for everyone to start the year off. I hope none of us have to repeat your experience to learn from it. Thanks for sharing this story with us!
