I never had a serious injury that kept me out of a big competition. Now everyone has injuries - to their feet or their knees or their backs.

I've had extraordinary good luck with my health, other than a broken elbow.

I used to keep injuries to myself. It would just make it worse and worse. Now I'm having none of that.

As a player, I was fortunate to work with coaching and medical staffs that underscored the importance of utilizing injury prevention exercises, which contributed to my healthy and long playing career.

I'm pretty cautious and not very athletic, so I've only had really dumb injuries, like sprained ankles and allergic reactions. I did have to go to the hospital after slicing my finger while trying to cut a Kaiser roll in half.

I've had injuries in my life from things beyond my control: runaway horses, helicopters that decide to crash on mountaintops, boating accidents - things that were out of my hands.

I've been unfortunate enough to be working, and recovering from a few injuries now and again.
