One Thing You May Not Know...

I have a condition that resulted in a doctor giving me medical order to "play" at least 3 times a day. (Not her exact phrasing, but... Yeah.)

This sounds dreadful. If in any way I can help. Please let me know.

My doctor prescribed alcohol to help with my blood pressure.
 
I have never broken a bone in my body. I severely cracked the ones in my right wrist (I'm right handed) which required it to be encased in a cast, twice. One time right after the other.
 
During the time when I had no self worth, and believed I needed to do something to justify the space I took up and the air I sucked up, I used to donate blood platelets to help leukemia patients. I wanted to donate bone marrow, but was never matched to anyone. I eventually had to stop when my GI doctor put me on a medicine that made my blood products unsuitable for donations.
 
I was once in a head-on collision with a drunk driver. I was ejected from the vehicle and walked away without anything more than a scratch and a concussion.

You are incredibly lucky. My adventure through a windshield, left bits of glass in my face, and chest. A broken collarbone from where the seatbelt snapped, and multiple broken ribs from tumbling off the other vehicle and down the road like a rag doll.

I was still the first one up out of the accident, and in the least serious condition. (Cousin crushed his leg. Got a hairline fracture in his skull. Other driver Dead on impact from whiplash.) But I was in agony for months.

Count yourself amazingly lucky.
 
My elbow once broke a guy's nose in a mosh pit.
Bad elbow!
 
I'm very fortunate. It happened outside a local bar. Pretty amazing accounts from everyone who saw. They were sure I was dead until I stood up. Pure luck.
