What kind of injuries have you gotten? What were you trying to do when you got them?

What kind of diseases have you gotten? How did they affect your health?

In what ways is your health getting worse?

In the past 18 months I've sprained both ankles in separate incidents playing hockey. One was due to a collision, the other was due to being tripped.

I don't believe my health is getting worse.

Last major injury was when I broke my arm. It was the radius near my elbow. I fell off a chair trying to reach something. I was alone at work. I continued to to my job until I drove home. After dinner, I realised I couldn't straighten my arm and it was starting to hurt more. So I drove to the ED. An X-ray and a sling later, I drove home with great difficulty. Lucky my car is automatic. I had 6 weeks off work and then I was fine.

My asthma has been getting worse. My GP had me go for a bunch of blood tests on Wednesday but I don't know the results yet.

Too numerous to list .When asked , what injuries I have had on almost every single Doctors intake form .
You get most of your major bones in a body crush injury, .vehicular accident, Multiples. 2nd was just a leg and and a arm broke. And a few others . very long to recover ,Each time. But I did learn a bunch of Medical things ,and terms in the meantime . Doctors, MDs tried to write me off. Recovered from paralysis, Surprised everyone ,Told mum back then , that at best would be a wheelchair bound vegatable....Guess had much more living to do.
35 years later. many surgeries and experiences , past over the years . Still doing my thing .
