I used to be a gymnast... grew up and had 2 babies. I went back to gym to play around and ruptured my Achilles. Couldn’t walk for 6 mo. kids were 3 and 1. hubby worked FT and school FT.
After getting a black eye and a concussion from hitting the side of my head on a water slide in Costa Rica, I'm done with water slides, the fact that they required a helmet to go down a waterslide should have been my first clue it wasn’t safe.’
In my 20s, I was a rodeo clown bull fighter. I did it for 6 years, an injury every single round.
I’ve been riding a four-wheeler my entire life, had an accident last year and decided I better start acting my age, I am almost 50 years old. With age comes a cage, bought a side by side.
After I had my baby I went back to the gym and while doing squat jumps I totally blew my knee out. Had to push my knee cap back into place. I have the worst ptsd from it and avoid any jumping/running/high impact anything for fear of it happening again. I can't even hear about knee injuries. It makes me sick to my stomach.
I was one of the top freshman swimmers on my high school team. Rotator cuff went out right before competition started. Couldn't compete anymore.
