Only sport-related injury I ever had was a deep cut to a finger done by the propeller on a radio controlled model airplane. On cold days that finger is the first to get cold.

After the knee surgery at age 40 the doc told me "no running for you". The knee injury came from playing with the dog.

I was mostly a practice dummy; no LeBron here...

Okay, true confessions: I broke all my bones falling on the ice in my driveway a couple of times. Never broke anything on the field or the rink.

The cartilage damage to the knees is another matter...

For years, I rode horses. Once in a gallop, my body shifted and to the passerby I probably looked like I was doing some fancy trick.

I didn't fall off, but every muscle in my body ached for days.

I develped a herniated disc and this malady got worse over the years. I try to convince myself that it was due to other means, but I'm pretty sure it was due to riding. Riding horses was my greatest pleasure...I miss it so much.

Our kid rode dressage for over three years, and during that time I never met a single ER'd equestrian...

Basketball is NOT a straight-line sport, either, and I have a mild knee sprain to prove it.........
