To every athlete that plays through the effects of a concussion - I am in complete awe of you. My doctors have explained that my Churg Strauss causes my body to recover and heal more slowly than the average person. I have learned to handle that. The lack of control, inability to focus, and feeling that I actually lost intelligence through this recovery has been mind boggling.
On the evening of October 22nd, I was simply leaning over to get my laptop from the floor when Jackson thought I was playing a game. He rushed over in his zealous way and we bumped heads. Within the hour, my new husband was jumping into Coach first-aid mode. I was exhibiting nearly every sign of having a concussion. Oh, how one simple action can change the course of a night and even a month.
That's right - it's been a full month since that silly accident and I can finally say I'm starting to feel like myself again. Concussions are no joke. According to my neurologists, I'm not there yet. My brain is still healing and my body is still recovering. Concussions are absolutely no joke!
