Right on bro!
I also was at the peak of health, climbing mountains, working out four to five days a week, running, you know the drill. That was all awesome until the MRI results came back after a little slippy whoops and subsequent fall that landed me just right on the top of my head at just the right angle.
Hairline fracture in Cervical vertebrae number five and three destroyed discs that had to be removed. Titanium plates to hold it all together ETC ETC....
You never know when that good health a$$ kicking is going to turn into a bad health a$$ kicking. One second you are Mr. Universe the next second you're in the ICU wondering if you'll ever be able to walk again. Shiz happens.. It's better to have it and not need it.
