Injuries, and loosing gains

[bigdelt69]

Has anyone ever lost years with of hard earned gains due to an injury?

If so how hard was it to come back after you could return to normal training?

I have lost around 35 lbs and LOTS of strength due to my unplanned time off.

Looking for some motivation guys!

I tore my rotator cuff 4 years ago, and it took 5 months before I could do any training at all. It was very trying, having to come up with other hobbies, losing all my strength. I lost about 20 lbs. but once it finally healed (for the most part) I was finally able to make it back in. The gains came back pretty fast, but it was very humbling to say the least. I wouldn't ever want to that again.
