Chuck Norris has been a much-loved icon for so many years, with his television and martial arts legacy.
When I heard that he was hospitalized for an emergency in Kauai, Hawaii, on Thursday, I was momentarily worried.
But then I remembered - it's Chuck Norris. What can prevail against him?
When I hunted down his condition, I was gratified to learn that while they didn't disclose what the emergency was, TMZ was told that he was in good spirits. So that sounds positive.
Norris who lives in Texas and owns property in Hawaii, was in Kauai to train. Because isn't that what you would do when you're 86 years old?
He posted a video earlier this month on his birthday on March 10, showing him sparring with a trainer. He looks better than most guys in their 40s.

The hospitalization comes after Norris celebrated his 86th birthday earlier this month.

"I don’t age. I level up," Norris declared.
He added, "I’m 86 today! Nothing like some playful action on a sunny day to make you feel young. I’m grateful for another year, good health and the chance to keep doing what I love. Thank you all for being the best fans in the world. Your support through the years has meant more to me than you’ll ever know.
Norris is known for everything from his famous roles like "Walker, Texas Ranger" to his kick-butt movies like "Delta Force" and "Missing in Action."
Norris is, of course, a Republican. He explained why - because the Democrats had gone so far to the left.

The legend said he used to be a Democrat, but the party went way too far left. They completely lost touch with what America stands for.

Norris explained that the Democrats had "gone completely off the trail." He said that the Democrats had lost all reality about what America stands for. Meanwhile, he thought Republicans, at that point in time, were more focused on what was best for America.

So I thought that as we send out our thoughts and prayers to him for his best health, we can remind ourselves of his strength and his ability to conquer adversity with some of those great Chuck Norris-isms.
