This snippet from Scott's profile is inspiring."...I know for someone who’s had a broken back I’ve been very lucky but in August, 2004, having not worked out for at least a couple of years and packing on several additional kilos of flab, my continued neglect finally caught up with a vengeance. My back gave out. Three months bed rest and a further six months forced to work on my stomach gave a lesson not to be forgotten. Even then months more therapy, yoga, and light exercise (and two further relapses) were necessary before I reached the point where I could start regular physical workouts. ..."
I got back into swimming after I herniated 3 disks and partially lost the use of my left leg so Scott's story really resonated with me. When I got injured, I was a train wreck and now the doctors are amazed and credit my swimming as the healing factor.
