Most frusterating, humbeling, and depressing injury I have ever experienced, and I have had my share.  This brought me to reality.  I found this blog and enjoy sharing different stories as this has helped me progress and proceed with caution.  While agressive I do NOT want this to re occur.  GREAT BlOG
