My first one was from skiing head first into a tree when I was 16 followed by some really nasty ones in my early 20’s during summer jobs while going to University. Then my 30’s were a cluster of accidents at work so I stayed home and raised the kids until I felt better but a nasty accident in my 40’s left me unable to work. Lately I’ve had a few falls due to ankle failures from injuries sustained in previous accidents. It’s ridiculous really because a lot of the accidents were mechanical failure and bad luck. The upside is that it’s left me with a lot of tools to deal with injury, concussions and recovery. I was in a study sponsored by the US Army to help find ways to recover from concussions. And my own research is ongoing.
