At a contest in FL, jumped out of the bed of a stopped pickup, thought I sprained my ankle. Went to walk-in clinic the next day, they too said it was sprained. If it's not better in a week come back. Competed the following weekend, ankle swole up like a grapefruit, went back to same walk in clinic, this time they xrayed it. Said it was broken and now had grown back together wrong. Had to have it re-broken and a plate and 6 screws put in. Competed a couple of weeks later on crutches, won gc.
At a contest in TN, after awards me and some guys 'borrowed' some abandoned rental golf carts and went all Ricky-Bobby, racing each other around the track. I came out of the cart, landed on my head, lots of road rash. Took me an hour to get out of bed the next morning from the neck pain. Drove 13 hours home, went to a specialist, eventually ended up with surgery (Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion). Now the proud owner of another plate and 6 more screws.
FBA 2014 Florida State Championship in Venice FL, tripped on stairs going to my hotel room after a Meet-n-Greet the Champions with the contest sponsors Thursday night. Went to the ER Friday got 10 stitches in my forehead, got to the contest at cook's meeting time. Went on to win GC.
Work hard, play hard.
