Man, where do I start?
- Dislocated big toe (jammed it into the turf)
-major ligament damage to my right ankle (guy dove on it when I was kicking a ball out of bounds)
-Torn ACL, PCL, MCL of various degrees
-major muscle bruise in my hip and quad (almost as bad as a break), after crashing on the DH course at COP
- Collapsed lung and broken ribs (it was great fun when the lung reinflated and I got a cold, causing knife like chest pains whenever I coughed)
-broke both collarbones (one in hockey, one in rugby)
-spiral fracture of the humurous (snowboard crash)
-various ET fingers (mainly rugby/football related)
-about 4 concussions
-stitches in my head and eye (head to head rugby collisions)
-stitches in my arm after impaling myself on a tree (my only fishing injury!)
-whiplash (rugby)
-torn bursa on my elbow and my knee, one of which requireed surgery (rugby)
-deviated septum (fancy way of saying I broke my nose kneeboading) still can't breathe out of one side of it.
-broken scaphoid (wrist)
The moral of the story is don't play rugby if you want to be able to walk at 40.

Tron, the question becomes... after all that (and that is a pretty impressive list of injuries), was it worth it?
