yup..couldn't fight myself out of a wet paper bag anymore: cracked vertebrae with seperated ligaments and muscles, bone spurs, dead and damaged nerves..messed up for life. Bad right shoulder, previously broken right wrist, bad ankle. Too broke to fight fair, so if I had to, I'd wimp out and use my equalizer. I know I'm not in near as bad shape as some out there and I'd like to keep it that way.
