Your answer depends on what category you currently fall into.
1) You already know you will become a Ranger, no matter what. You will never quit.
You not only know the Ranger creed by heart, you live it, every day.
Answer: You will push yourself further, farther and faster. You will do whatever it takes to become a Ranger.
One-hundred-percent and then some.
Result: You will get your shit and become a Ranger.
2) You'd really like to be a Ranger, it would be cool. You're going to try and you don't want to quit.
Answer: Run like hell every day. Run till you puke, and then run some more. Also do multiple hundreds of pushups and situps and dozens of pullups every day.
Result: You might become a Ranger, you might not. Probabbly not.
That will depend on your intestinal fortitude and how bad you really want it when the shit hits the fan during RIP.
Most of RIP's 50-75% failure/quitter/drop-outs are in this category.
3) This looks like you----->
Answer: Shoot yourself.
Result: This opens up an option 40 slot for someone that deserves to be there.

Ranger Kilted Heathen gave you the only advice there is... Do PT, your strength will come back quickly. In a couple of weeks you should be back to where you were before you got sick. You have no time to lose, not even one day. Prove to yourself that you are in the first category that Ranger RTO described.
WE NEED MORE RANGERS!

Two months is plenty of time to regain a previously reached level of fitness. If you were starting from scratch, two months wouldn't be adequate (there's some eloquent master fitness terms that go along with it, but that's the bottom line). You should be about at 85-90% in two weeks with some effort.
Follow Ranger KH's advice - it's sound. Be consistent, don't try to overdo it and you'll be fine. You'll see quick gains back to your previous level.
Be confident - don't doubt yourself.
