Well, I’m fat and I was reminded of that yesterday when I tripped and fell crossing the street to get to the VA Clinic. Badly hurt my hands, arms and nose, including a bad nosebleed that lasted the rest of the day. If I were still 175 lbs, I doubt that it would’ve been that big a deal.
I’m fat as well (though 20 years ago in college I probably was 175), and it does make injuries worse (I’m working on it, but it’s hard). Now that the weather is warming up it is easier to get out hiking; otherwise cutting grass and shoveling snow are my sole exercise.
Speedy recovery!
