Varicose and thrombotic leg veins from previous career in retail , and ulcer on my foot. Other than that , in surprisingly good form , lucky to be alive and pretty healthy .

Recovering from a car hit in April - still pain in my shoulder and leg. Back pain as well.

Like so many others, my back is my Achilles heel. Total of seven fractured vertebrae. I feel lucky to still be walking around. Riding is a challenge for me though. Boo hoo.

Branding. I like it! Adventurous and far more C&V than wussy tattoos.

I have a frozen thumb on my right hand from holding on to a Momo steering wheel in a crash. Arthritis, all through my body, and attacks me at will. However, exercise keeps the attacks down to a few bad ones a year. Also, a bum right knee from running. Doctors told me not to run anymore or they will have to cut me. I don't run anymore, I ride my bicycle.

All and all, I think we are all super fortunate to be here even with injuries, we are way, way ahead of the game!!

Cheers to all, especially Robbie who gave me a scare with this topic!!

My elbow hurts, and my fingernails are always cracking and tearing, but I think all things considered I have nothing to complain about. I'm sorry to hear about the rest of your* maladies, especially Ashley's, which was a surprise to me. I'll give him a call.


*that's a plural. Should I have said y'all's?

Yes.

My brain transplant didn't go as well as expected so there are are are are a few complications. Otherwise the things I can complain about are reasonably tolerable.

Really? This is what the forum has come to? You are all sitting around kvetching about your bumps and bruises? OHY


now I have to go lay down because my back still hurts from that tumble I took in August

I'm feeling awesome. I swear my teeth are whiter, I recently had to cinch my belt a notch tighter and my penis is still growing.

That must result in a lot of neck pain

HA! Thanks Colonel. The only response here that made me smile. I would have laughed, but it hurts when I laugh.

I fell down the stairs and my shoe fell off.

In reasonably good health except somehow I let myself slip back into Clydesdale territory. Neck hurts a little, knees are a little stiff, but mustn't complain, my mom just had a knee replaced completely. You'd think they'd put in a grease zirk but they claim that it's a lifetime bearing.

You too?!!!

Thanks Frank Rizzo.

In 1989 I was riding up a street I didn't ordinarily ride up due to a parade riding at about 23 miles an hour into the sun. When I looked up I was looking into the back of a parked truck I swerved hard but caught my shoulder on the back of the truck. The Sun was low and I was riding into it on a street that does not usually have trucks on it with one side Parking that had just switched to the side I was riding up that day.
I suffered permanent nerve damage to my brachial plexus, on my right side now when I ride I do all my shifting with my left hand and drinking while riding I will only do on a quiet road as holding a straight line is difficult.

Thank you. You're in the minority because no one ever seems to get my "Jerky Boys" references.

Also, my leggies hurt because i went running this morning.

Dude...those blank tapes got passed around more than the box of junk. They were probably second in popularity to Eddie Murphy.

I'm wondering if it was mainly just Philly area thing?

Maybe - we were close to NYC. We had those things being passed around as blank tapes before they were on Stern or selling them. I didn't know they had a name until much later - they were just the prank call tapes.

If I was feeling any better, I'd have to sit on my hands to keep from waving at everyone.

The part that does hurt when riding is the separated collarbone injury of 32 years past. How could I forget that one?

They let us say penis here?

Broke the Tib & Fib in my right leg 10-25.
Intermedullary nailing of the tibia on 10-30.
I see the surgeon on 12-13 and I'm "good to go" OR have 4 more weeks of Winter.

I've had a problem with asthma flare-ups lately, but overall, I'm feeling pretty good. I'm relieved to be able to say that, too, because I did my first cyclocross race over the weekend and, honestly, I figured the odds were pretty good that I would not come out of it unscathed. But I had no problems, even with my terrible form on the dismount/run with the bike over obstacles/re-mount part of it. Kind of fun, actually.

Hopefully I can get the asthma better controlled in the near future, I'd really like to spend a lot of time on the mountain bike this winter and be ready for some mountain bike racing next year.
