A few years ago, I had brain surgery to remove a tumor. About 3 months later, the neurosurgeon “fully cleared” me to resume “all activities” with “no restrictions”. I made sure to clarify because I wanted to resume playing ice hockey and snowboarding. He said I’d be fine.

On the first run of the day, I fly swattered myself almost exactly like that straight onto my head. No helmet though. I was mostly OK, just a bloody nose and terrible headaches for like 6 months afterwards.

I told the doctor about it and he basically shrugged like you’ll be fine.

You are fully cleared to smash your head on things with no helmet, brain surgery goon. The consequences are your own!

did you lift too much to fast. just do it with like 90lbs on the bar, doesn't have to be alot

I think so. Kinda scared me a bit. Now I bench and lift weights and do various exercises that seem a little more my speed. I'm trying to concentrate on consistency in working out multiple times a week atm

Oh definitely, but it's just so funny.

Just, being a neurosurgeon and reacting like, I reckon that was a good enough object lesson. If he figures it out it's fine, if he doesn't, well. Either he's a return customer or no longer my problem.

People are all like "once you turn 30, your body is a broken husk and life is pain" but actually I don't think you can blame age for that. Try improving your health and fitness maybe? I dunno. All I can tell you is that I'm 39 next month and I don't injure myself doing everyday activities. I can also stay up past midnight and drink a bottle of wine and still feel fine the next day.

I'm in my 40ties and never had much problems. Until a few years I tried picking up skateboarding. After a couple of falls (you WILL fall with a skateboard) my body made it very clear I can't do that anymore.
Bruises take forever to heal. I can still go on 15k trail runs or whatever. But anything involving falling/need for swift reaction speed, that's over.

My body built my spine wrong, as a joke, so nerves get pinched much more easily. I have enjoyed a lifetime of throwing my back out in such extreme ways as:

  • pointing
  • looking to one side too quickly
  • coughing
  • stepping sideways
  • gesturing to a friend across the street

Funnily enough those all happened in my early twenties, because once we figured out what was wrong regular exercise and stretching has worked wonders.

quote:

Your standard Senna, if there is such a thing, is said to have cost around $1.3 million new. But with all the bespoke treatment on this particular example, guessing at an appraisal is a little more challenging. According to commenters on Reddit, this specific car was originally called "Kilo Senna" and was commissioned by a VIP client of the brand. It is the only Senna with that particular sage exterior and saddle interior. It's reportedly the first Senna to arrive in the U.S., as well as the only factory MSO Senna with the $150,000 carbon wheels, 24k gold exhaust shield, and OG Kiwi McLaren logo.
