Rib bruises and breaks are the gift that keeps giving.

Probably 13 years ago I broke my nose and cracked a rib during a drunken Statue Of Liberty boat jumping incident after getting loaded at a Sunday brunch. I just pushed my nose straight and kept partying into the evening. I remember that rib hurting while dancing but I was having an epic time so...

Seize the day.

When I was about 16-17 I was in a car accident and had 3 ribs on my left side damaged. I remember it being painful to breathe for a couple months since I didn't get any medical treatment until about 20 days after the accident at the time.

My then girlfriend od 2 years came by and we tried to have sex, but since breathing was so difficult, she didn't stay over long. Didn't see much of her after that, so I imagine someone else was breathing better than me,lol

A few years ago, got rear ended and ran over by a semi truck at a red light while on my then 1199s. I swore my leg would have been broken, but apparently practicing Muay Thai for many years has conditioned my shins to be quite durable... even under the weight of a Mack Truck, lol

19 bones is a hell of a track record haha. The cracked ribs suck though, I had one cracked during a soccer game and you don't realize how much they move/flex/etc during every day life until you've bruised or broken one

I feel you though, I'm 35 and physically feel like I'm 75 most days from previous injuries. I also have some auto-immune shit that makes the joint problems a little worse.

A few of my highlights:

Cracked rib (soccer)
Broken nose 3 times (soccer/hockey)
Broken both wrists (one soccer, one basketball)
Dislocated right shoulder twice (soccer...having surgery in 2 weeks finally. 360* labral tear with joint/cartilage damage, and some cysts from all the instability/rubbing)
Tore 4 ligaments in my left ankle at once, along with cartilage damage (soccer)
Tore 2 ligaments in my right ankle (soccer)
Tore part of my right quad (soccer)
Broken toes about a dozen times (soccer)
Stitches a dozen different times or so from various things

My joints make a looooot of noise now
