i think floyd will come through easily with his attitude (aka stubborn). i believe its all about what you think of things.

my dad (very stubborn) had his hip replaced and he was up the same day walking around. bf (even more stubborn) broke his femur in 3 places. dr told him he may not walk again, or if he did it would be years. he's completed and won tris after the accident. though he did start cycling again before he could really walk and that wasn't long after he got discharged from the hospital.
