I'll probably forget some...

• Broken leg when I got run over by a station wagon when I was a kid.
• Broken hand from punching my brother.
• Ran full speed into a soccer goal I didn't see because I was looking other way. Knocked me out for a bit.
• Hit so hard in football, got knocked out. Woke up with everybody over me like a huddle.
• Tore something in right knee that had me out for a few months in 10th grade.
• Major concussion from "free-form boxing" with two friends in 11th grade. Three guys, no ref, no rules. :)
• Torn rotator cuff from swimming in 12th grade.
• Separated shoulder from hazing incident in ROTC.
• Shit-ton of random bike wrecks that have done cumulative damage. A couple bad enough I wouldn't be here if I hadn't worn a helmet.
• Dog bite while running.
• Torn labrum in right shoulder from throwing baby son up in the air a lot. (totally worth it.)
• Twice broken or separated ribs from surfing and trail running.
• Exploded elbow joint and broken left forearm from falling while running at night.
• Gout in both wrists from swimming across Lake Tahoe with a wetsuit with sleeves too tight at the forearm. Had crystals in the joints that crunched when you moved the wrists for several months.
• Rhabdo halfway through a ultramarathon.
• Epic plantar fasciitis training for an ultraman.
• Broken toes from plantar fasciitis pulling so hard on toes, it broke them on push-off during a run.
• Nerve damage on left side that seems to be cumulatively gaining on me over the years. Like a very, very slow progressing palsy. Toes and left pinky get numb and painful very easily. Latest is hearing in left ear showing signs of damage/wearing out. Also overall loss of muscle tone and strength on left side of body compared to right.
• Piriformis syndrome on left side. Could be part of that neuropathy stuff.
