I ask myself this question a million times WHY? Why me? This is not fair....:( I trained so hard for it to end this way!!!
What I was told from witnesses, it happen so fast all was a fog really. Session had barely started and I went and put down my water bottle by the boards and I took my cd out of my case and went across to the music box and placed my CD. As I was stepping out I was barely gliding forward while putting on my gloves, and what I do remember I glanced and saw Justin walking along the bleachers and waved hello, and BAM!! it happen, a skater, skating *backwards* collided with me!!. the back of her head hit the back of my head!!! I fell and my head it the ice DOUBLE WHAMMY!!!. I lost consciousness and was out for a while motionless. As I came to.. was escorted off the ice and I began to get sick, started vomiting and feeling faint. I felt like my head was going to explode from the pain and the shock of the impact!!!
I was rushed to the ER and waited to be taken care of, had a CT done and results were clear, no swelling or fluids in my brain....Thank the Lord!!! Was sent home the same night, was on a 24 watch "head injury with no wake up".
Now, have to rest and more rest- it will take time and everyone is telling me "ice will always be there" this is so true, however, this is a devastating situation and a complete setback for me and my skating, I have a test on Sunday and now I have to scratch???...
UPDATE Oct 30th: I made my decision and I am not going ahead with the *Test* this Sunday, its for the best and my head is not doing what it should and its way to soon after injury. I have to think of my health and recovery is most important for me and my family.
I want to say this "to all my family and friends, thank you so much for ALL you prayers and thoughts, there is a special place in my heart for all of you"
I love you all dearly !!
