I actually keep a velcro wrap in the backpack I take everywhere because between decades of being a dancer, soccer player, and a roller derby skater and the injuries I had doing those things, coupled with my age, it's eminently possible for me to just 'step wrong' and have to wrap up an ankle.

the kid is gonna die after it wears off

Ah yes, the SUV is basically the bride from Kill Bill, doing the five point palm exploding heart technique.

I feel this. I can make my ankle audibly crunch on command by rotating it the right way

I walked up a hill and hurt my hip a bit. Then I got excited and jumped around dancing later that night, and BAM. Hip has hurt for 4 days now (as in, hobble-walking), and considering my track record, will now hurt just slightly until I die and doctors will have no fucking idea why.

hahaha holy crap i am laughing out loud, thank you, dang that's so funny

Doctors rarely have a clue about the why of anything. They respond to trigger words, fill out paperwork, and send you on your merry way.

that's really interesting. I listened to a podcast with one of the writers, or maybe the creator, I can't remember right now, and he talked about how sincere everybody was about creating the superhero who could actually change the cultural lack of concern about climate change.

and what's super cool is like statistically and culturally, it looks like the show worked.

like yeah everything is still fucked, but it would have been way worse a generation earlier if a bunch of awesome nerds didn't make Captain planet for generation x so they would become horrified over climate change.

I won’t even go for this, even if it continues to hurt, because I’ve learned this lesson.

Just do the dance in reverse

Unfortunately, it was a jump, so I think a reverse jump is just a jump, right?

Last panel: Turns around too quickly to look after the kid, now has a painfully stiff neck for a week.

Uhhhhh does that explain why I can shrug off pain that puts other people in the hospital? Was it the fucking abuse?!

I didn't know we had free fortune telling on Lemmy!

I'm so cooked

I’ve definitely been doing a lot of those things since it happened. Much shuffling, tarrying, and slowing down. I just started back on working out today, but nothing with my hip.

I hope y’all are 80 cause I’m 40’s and pretty damn fit to be fair. Owe it rock climbing, running, lots of walking, and gym but I hate the gym these days it’s so boring.

Use it or lose it people.

And one without wind, he couldn't fly

It's not necessarily abuse to not react strongly to your child having a minor injury, but that could be a reason why. It could also be you learned to mask your pain to avoid further abuse.

I also have a stupid high pain tolerance (like making it through my vasectomy without anesthesia while only saying ouch under my breath, because my surgeon didn't believe I could still feel everything), but my mom knew about this from her masters degree and applied it to me.

it's always the abuse.

my wife was neglected as a child and always told to "walk it off".

our first child, she didn't have any pain mitigation. the nurses were horrified but morbidly curious.

when she says it hurts I believe it would incapacitate a normal person.

personally, I have worked on mind-over-matter pain mitigation (I fell asleep during a root canal) but hers takes it to a whole new level.

48yo alpinist who climbs 5.12+ here. I'm constantly injured. If you're not doing regular training for injury prevention it will come back to bite you in your 50's or 60's and you will not have the framework to navigate the injury without further fitness loss and a downward spiral of capabilities.
