00:00.370 --> 00:03.549
So I did the power lifting . So your

00:03.559 --> 00:05.670
legs are strapped in and so you don't

00:05.670 --> 00:07.869
have your legs like on the floor like

00:07.880 --> 00:11.069
the gym . My max is one of five that I

00:11.079 --> 00:14.329
did , but they said I can do more and I

00:14.340 --> 00:16.229
think I can too . I'm just always

00:16.229 --> 00:18.173
worried , I'm going to pop a blood

00:18.173 --> 00:21.750
vessel in my eye . I was racing .

00:21.760 --> 00:24.069
Somebody couldn't control my speed . I

00:24.079 --> 00:27.010
took a wrong turn and I accidentally

00:27.020 --> 00:29.131
fell off a cliff . I had a metal pole

00:29.131 --> 00:31.242
in my left leg and I hit trees when I

00:31.242 --> 00:35.169
ribs and back . I eventually returned

00:35.180 --> 00:37.590
to duty . Then a year later , I

00:37.599 --> 00:39.680
realized that I was slowly getting

00:39.689 --> 00:42.009
arthritis . I was spitting up blood and

00:42.020 --> 00:44.720
I realized I got diagnosed with lupus .

00:44.830 --> 00:46.719
There are so many positive people

00:46.719 --> 00:48.830
around me that saying , hey , you can

00:48.830 --> 00:52.159
still do the stuff you love and , and

00:52.840 --> 00:55.007
he can just be there for me like I , I

00:55.007 --> 00:57.299
don't feel alone like everybody else is

00:57.310 --> 01:00.709
in the injured situation and we're all

01:00.720 --> 01:02.549
trying to get back up .
