Would you like to hear more?

And one time after commercial halibut fishing I reffed a game and my hemorrhoids were so bad that ... please don't encourage the eagle, next it will be when he lost his virginity etc.

I'd find that hard to believe.

Me too, and I don't want to hear his "English Patient Saga" either!

I am meaning serious injury that involves an Emergency Room run &/or numerous doctor visits to fix/correct the injury.

Losin' one's virginity is not a work/sports related injury unless you work in a strip club or brothel.

Thanks so much for that information.

You know, a lot of new posters find that they learn much more from reading the topics that others have psoted as opposed to starting a half dozen threads each day all by themselves.

I am not starting new topics every day, as you state/think. I do also just read through topics without posting, though there have been times I felt like posting a response for clarification or to ask additional questions which I did not.

Can a person not be curious about similar circumstances without being read the riot act?

Sure, but don't expect to be able to dictate the direction of responses.

And look up "riot act," it's not really applicable here. (But don't copy and paste what you find, please.)

Four years ago, I blew out a knee in the first contest I ever officiated... torn ACL, shredded medial meniscus, grade III MCL sprain.

After reconstructive surgery and about a year, I got back to normal.

Then last summer I was dead-lifting and tweaked the knee again. After a full football season and a partial basketball/wrestling season, I've been diagnosed with additional medial meniscus tears, lateral meniscus tears, and grade 2/3 arthritis in my fibula (at the age of 34).

I've been warned to cut any high impact activities (i.e. officiating). I smiled and asked my orthopedic surgeon when I should plan for my first replacement.

Excuse me Loudwhistle, that comment was rather insulting considering. I'm his wife & he lost that long ago. As a one studying to be a official in more than one sport. If you were a coach making that comment to me as a official. You'd be out of the game real quick.

As a runner, athlete, etc. I've had ACL injuries in both knees, Patella dislocation in one knee, hurt ankles, torn muscles & tendons, broken fingers, bone spurs, etc. I'm still up & going & don't complain.

I think this a good topic, as far as to compare notes to see how we overcome our injuries to get back on the court, etc.

I once lost a spike during a race & was covered in blood and torn a ACL, but still qualified for state because I didn't give up.

Do you really think I care?

So it's insulting that he lost his virginity to you?

TMI!

If you don't care then why post?

I am wanting advice from others that have gone through similar circumstances, which thankfully one person has been helpful.

Sorry I didn't mean to imply too much info. I talk my mind usually & could lie if I wanted to, I'm too honest. I was just a little upset by the comment. I had a long weekend showing my rabbits & am still a bit sore from being on my feet on concrete for about 12 hours straight.

Sorry to offend you, but your husband is "famous" for posting bizarre, non official related topics that don't belong in a basketball officials' forum. He tries to answer questions as if he's an actual basketball official. I'm not interested in someones fairy tale opinion about fouls and violations. I appreciate the knowledge that other officials have shared on this forum and I welcome comments from people who have walked the walk. I suggest both of you use the search feature and you'll find answers to common problems that basketball officials encounter.

Most of my injuries related to sports (R shoulder-surgery, R knee-surgery, L quad-tear-rest, numerous sprains strains of ankles/knees/R shoulder) happened with me as a participant. My one work injury, which is why I'm benched until I'm fixed, is my back.

I haven't been hurt officiating, but I've not been doing it long enough to have had it possibly happen either.

P.S. I'm currrently battling daily constant pain. One is a diagnosed facial pain, the second is my back injury, and third is a semi-diagnosed L shoulder problem.
