My Life on the Injured List
Well, no sooner do I recover from a torn calf muscle, my ankle gives out… swollen and throbbing with pain.
Terrence is always saying I could write a book about all my various injuries. I say, maybe not a book, but at least a blog entry:)
From head to toe…
- hair loss from stress
- lice (way back in the 4th grade)
- conjunctivitis (pink eye)
- stye (in my eye)
- paper cut in my eye (when I worked at the printing press)
- bloody noses (quite frequently when I was little)
- root canals
- gum grafting
- 13 teeth pulled in total (7 at one time)
- TMJ
- tonsilectomy (at 25)
- back spasms
- arm out of socket – both arms, numerous times
- broken finger
- fractured rib
- bladder infection
- broken tail bone
- torn left MCL (medial crucia ligament)
- torn right calf muscle
- shin splints
- broken right ankle (back in junior high)
- burst blood vessel in my right leg (my birthmark – blood spurt out in a straight stream!)
- broken toe(s)
And I’m sure the list will continue to grow as long as I’m alive 🙂
