Good news on what has been a shit day. I quit training some months back because of stenosis and other back injuries. I figured I was going to always look at my purple belt and wonder what could have been. Ive been working real hard on rehab and the doc thinks it should be ok to go back to training.
I'll need to avoid things like partners who weigh over 200 and not getting stacked or putting myself in positions where I can be injured. But I think I can do that by being smart and not using ego. So my journey continues and while I may never get to black belt with my new limitations it'll still be great to be on the mats.
