Also, old injuries that healed 30-40 years ago come back to haunt you, that really sucks. If I had a do over and could change one thing, I wouldn't have played rugby, I think it was the eight years of rugby that made me such a decrepit old man today.
Ok, I feel for you there.Sports can kill and maim a person. I avoided them for most part, cause I did not want to get hurt.
With no formal training I tried two back flips at age 27, attempting to use my hands in process, hands never hit ground only my head ergo neck/spinal bone at collar bone took my stupidest ever physical mistake,
Cowboy cattle rancher bulldogging cows, pigs/sows, breaking one bad horse, farmer hay bale stacker, lumber jack, rough neck drilling for gas on barge in Lousianna, manual by hand tree planter with swinging hoe-dad, carpentry, roofing, plumbing --plenty of crawling under houses--, painting houses an apt building moving tall heavy wooden ladders.
All of these jobs led me to two my two total reverse shoulder replacements. Mommmmmm, Aummmmm, Im a Bummmmm :---))
Oh yeah, once on carpentry apartment job, a 30' wooden ladder blew over side ways landed on my skull.. I was knocked backward taking few steps before falling in mud puddle. My boss thought maybe I had a concussion and had me sit in truck for an hour or so, but I felt ok and went back to work.
