I've had 36 orthopedic operations, have two fused ankles, my knees, hands and wrists don't work, I now have a fused spine, other than that, everything is great.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have had two knee surgeries on my right knee: that was my jumping leg that I jumped off for years and years.
I've broken probably every major bone in my body. I currently have, in my body, fifteen pins and a plate. I've broken my femur, both wrists, both ankles - my left ankle twice. My tibia. Tore my rotator cuff.
Even now with the operation, with the damage done, my ankle probably is never going to be back to 100 per cent.
I've separated my shoulder and my collarbone; I've messed up my knee a million times. I've broken my foot in several places. I've broken my toe a bunch, broken my nose a couple of times, and had a bunch of other annoying little injuries, like turf toe and arthritis and tendonitis. It's part of the game.
I replaced three joints in my hips and one in my knee. I'm hoping that other knee doesn't have to be done. It's one of the toughest things to overcome.
I had some surgery on my feet, which has helped my back some.
I started practicing yoga. I started learning some hands-on healing stuff. And I found really good chiropractors, really good massage therapists, and what I found is I've been able to actually peel off layers of trauma on my body and actually move better now than I did.
I'm ticking things off my list: I had a tumor removed; I had spinal surgery; I had four surgeries in three months.
Of all the surgeries I've had, there's not much left to operate on. I am totally bionic.
Unfortunately I had an ankle problem and underwent three operations.
