For all those who are bragging about good health, may I offer this one piece of advice....
It was my Senior year and I was bragging to a buddy of mine about how I had always been pretty healthy....two nights later during the football game I was punting and dropped my guard. A late spearing shot to the rib cage by an overzealous opponent caused me a couple of broken ribs and a concussion when my head hit the frozen ground. Later during Basketball season I broke my wrist...and during Baseball season I tore ligaments in the ankle.
Since that fateful night of proclaiming my injury-free life I have had all of the above plus a broken ankle (twice), tore the ACL in my left knee, a strain in the medial collateral, cracked the tailbone (playing roller hockey with a bunch of teenagers), had gall bladder surgery, and dislocated a shoulder. I've also done something to my thumb...what i cannot figure out...all I know is that I can bend it in directions that it's not normally supposed to go.
So...becareful about crowing how injury-free you are.
