Apparently, I'll Never Not Be Pissed About It.

So this past weekend was a year since I had my concussion. I was noting recently how I just have times when I can’t seem to function properly - like if I am overly tired, having womanly hormones or have pushed myself too hard. I have just never come back from it fully. It really makes me wonder how athletes do it. I was suffering severe symptoms for three months afterwards, lesser symptoms for six months, and even still to this day a bad cold can lay me out in a way it didn’t use too.

( It was a bad few months. )

And while we are on the subject of head injuries - people need to stop having them! I have had two friends in bicycle accidents in the last month, no helmets, and both suffering severe concussions - one that makes my head injury look like a candy-parade. One of the people was chased by a dog and the other hit by an elderly driver. They are both doing okay now, but they will be feeling it for months to come. And my Canadian Nephew fell down a flight of stairs, head first. A week before it happened, my brother was telling me how he had been nosing around the stairs with interest and yet, they apparently didn’t put up the baby gate. He ended up vomiting twice afterwards and the ER docs insisted he just had the flu. I call bullshit on that, but thankfully he is better now.

My point is…medical shit sucks ass, please wear your helmets when out riding your bicycles because you may be a good rider but the other people out there are stupid, and put up your damn baby gates. Also, please watch out for yourselves - you guys are all too awesome for anything to happen to you.

Thus ends the anniversary of the worst week of my life. Maybe by next year, I'll have let it go.
