    Do you currently have on your body? Doesn't have to be anything major, in fact calculate the major(if any and minor). Little dings, bruises, pulls, etc... will do. Just curious how many an average individual has. I just counted 7. Two on my toes from scraping a rock swimming in lake yesterday. One on my thumb from stabbing myself with a screwdriver. One on the back of my hand from clearing brush. One on my wrist from bangin it on a tractor while unhooking something. One on my knee from sliding into home during an intense wiffle ball game. And a pulled hamstring in my right leg. Nothing major but sporting 6 little dings... one somewhat bigger one (hamstring).

    I'm going in streaks right now. When I head up to the land and bust my behind in the woods for a weekend, I end up coming home with plenty of scrapes, bumps and bug bites. It takes about two weeks to get all the scabs to heal and then I go back up there to start the process all over again.

    My thumbs are absolutely raw from lipping bass the last two weekends. I caught a decent pike yesterday too that I had to grab under the one gill because I didn't have a net and he thrashed pretty good and shredded the top of one of my thumbs.

    Over 50 scratches on my arms two deep cuts on my hands one on my face and a hundred bug bites. Working outside everyday and hard work does a toll on the body

    I wake daily with aches and pains from my neck to my toes. Came from 30+ years military service. Means I'm still alive and that's a good thing as far as I'm concerned.

    I just got back from 8 days of fishing in Canada. About the 4th day my brother told me I could not catch anymore fish because everyone in our group had run out of bandaids. First day, first big fish I casually picked up a big walleye. He started flopping and I lost my grip. His gill plate cut the hell out of my left thumb. Not long afterward... same deal with a Northern on another finger. In all I had 4 major screw ups while handling fish for the week. On top of that, sunburned lips and hands. Forgot to sunblock the back of my hands. Throw in 4 days of AFib and it wasn't all a pleasant trip.... but I made it home.

    So I had a nuclear stress test Monday. Got some blockage. Catherization/ angioplasty this coming Friday. Yup, I got dings and aches and pains and a plugged up ticker. Do I win some sort of prize. LOL

    Yes. Added to my list as well. There is something to be said for that sunscreen stuff I guess lol.

    Also have a smashed head as of today. Had the garage door open, was working under a piece of equimpment with my head against the cement floor. Didn't quite have the door open all the way and it started rolling back down shut and smacked my head into the floor.

    I'm fairly clear. One healing scrape on my finger & one on my ankle. Just missed 2 others, a burn & another cut. I have 2 blisters from running. My eye is all red & puffy from allergies. Does that count?

    My neck and back cause me at least some pain and stiffness every day. I fractured 3 vertebrae in my back 20 years ago in a car accident. I also compound fractured a leg back in highschool playing football which means I have one leg 3/8 inch longer than the other due to the way it healed...this causes my hips/back/neck to be a little out of alignment at times even though I use slight heal lifts in my shoes.
    I also used to have problems with my right shoulder partially dislocating at times (another football injury) but archery is actually what strengthened it back to a point that is no longer is an issue.

    None of this really physically prevents me from doing anything though...i've just gotten used to pain I guess.
