I can jump to conclusions!

Yeah me!!

Okay, really, I did 200 push-ups on my 50th birthday. I was paralyzed almost completely eight years before and my neurologist told me that he thought that I would never be able to do a single push-up ever. I sent him the video of me doing the 200. He e-mailed me back and said he thought if he would tell me I couldn't do something, I would do everyhting in my power to prove him wrong. Sometimes doctors are tricky and smart.
