Inspirational lady

I have stuck to my plan to ask people what they goto the gym for
So i asked a lovely lady i have seen going to my gym for quite a while.
First thing anyone will notice is she uses crutches and has an obvious challenge to walk.
I just simply asked if she minded me asking what she gets out of the gym
The reply was inspirational
She said she was in a wheelchair as a result of a broken back and was told she would never walk again, she didn't need to say no more as the result of obvious hard work and determination showed, as she was up on her feet in front of me.
I also feel i have to point out this lady looked fantastic too in great shape and tone and a v healthy look about her.
I do know this lady needs medication also to deal with pain.
I never push for too much information as not everyone is like me and is ok to open up about everything.
i wonder how many people in this situation have not had the opportunity or inclination to go down a route to walking again and accepted what they are told is their fated future.
I also know of a man who after a brain heamorrhage at a young age was told he would never walk again yet i meet him regularly and he is walking unaided
He also engages in regular exercise, therapy and gym sessions
