Growing up, I thought I was fairly invincible.
This would explain the concussion at age 8, from falling off my bike. (I was trying to stand on the handle bars).
It would also explain the ski accident four years later that put me in a cast for several months.
(While you might still find me on the slopes, I’ve never again skied downhill quite so fast).
When it came to food, I thought I had an iron stomach.
I was extremely proud of the fact that I could eat pretty much anything.
Fast forward a good many years, and things have definitely changed.
In fact, the older I get, the more vulnerable I seem to be.
Is this simply what happens as you get older? Or is there something more going on?
