"this is what yours looked like." <BR/><BR/>i still have my kidney, but i don't have the floating rib from that side.<BR/><BR/>as for ultimate related injuries, i've had only two minor cuts needing stitches, a surgically repaired hernia, 5th degree AC separation in right shoulder that has cadaver parts and some sort of teflon string to hlep hold it all together, and an ACL repair to the right knee.<BR/><BR/>to think back that the only reason i started playing ultimate was to get back in shape for lacrosse seemed silly. i figured that playing ultiamte would extend my athletic days by at least 10 years and cut down on the medical bills too. plus, i was pretty sure i'd never get cross-checked in the throat again by a lacrosse stick (that also happened the year before my kidney injury...at IU as well).<BR/><BR/>i was wrong. but whatever, i wouldn't trade the any of these stories or the amount of work it took to return from all of them. i've got deeper emotional scars from this game tahn i do physical ones. some of those stories i'd consider trading, but as they say, what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger, and i think i'm finally beginning to think that.<BR/><BR/>darAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20399985.post-1160455378727199772006-10-09T21:42:00.000-07:002006-10-09T21:42:00.000-07:00aaron talbot, my roommate, of hippo, recently tore...aaron talbot, my roommate, of hippo, recently tore his kidney in 'something'.. but after a couple weeks of a catheter bag, looks like he gets to keep it. do you still have yours.? <BR/><BR/>luke.Lukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07348310765377365300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20399985.post-1160453499873633312006-10-09T21:11:00.000-07:002006-10-09T21:11:00.000-07:00Quite a resume of injuries.
