I've been falling since I was a kid. For some reason, turning 37 has not stopped me from doing things that cause me to fall. I don' t think turning 40 will either. The problem now is that when I take a spill of any significance, a bursitis grows on my elbow, despite the fact that I wear the biggest pads I can find.

 

This is yet another reason why I believe in chiropractors. When the one pictured happened, and it lasted more than a month, I went to a doctor to have it drained. They took a significant amount of fluid out of my elbow. By the next morning, it had filled back up. I went to my chiropractor and he told me to make a mixture of tofu, flour, and salt and pack it on the bursitis. Within two days, it was gone. Amazing.

Anyway, if and when I can get a Luke Skywalker style robotic arm, I will!
