Hi!
I needed to post a comment. I am a powerlifter, big man.
I was floxed in 2019.
My thought was, oh, this nearly killed me, what would’ve happend to a woman that is much smaller and weaker than me, and here you are, as a response to that, and the effcect was justt as I feared. Devastating.
Better yet, you managed to heal quite a lot!
It is truly sad that this is what humanity has cooked up for you. Truly sad.
But you have a very good philosophy, and you are doing a lot of things right.
Both you and your man is two absolutely wonderful human beings, and I send you all my love and best wishes for a bright future.
