Week two:
Not fun when you get your head knocked unconscious by another skater. Then having to deal with the pain, headaches, fogginess, not able to sleep on the side where I had the injury. This week I am doing much okay just have to deal with the neck muscle spasms and stiffness. My recovery is getting better as the days pass and at the same time, I am going out of my whits end right about now, but I am following doctors orders :) What I've learned from this is still yet to sink in....no matter what your goals are, how hard you've trained and the progress you have made thus far....ALL has been halted in an instant...live for today and tomorrow!! I am so thankful for everyday that I can get up and walk, drive, read etc....small things that we take for granted. My head injury could have turned out worse, but God was with me and his Angels.
One more week:
Who's counting?? This girl!!
Had my follow-up visit with my head doctor....and all is good...thank goodness :) Doctor gave me the OKAY - I can get back on the ice in another week. My anxiety level is so high right now, at the same time I feel a sense of "fear or timid" to know that I will be back on the ice and knowing what if its going to happen again.
I've visited the rink a couple of times, and everyone is so happy that I am doing better and tell me that they will look out for me and make sure nothing happens to me on the ice....I love all my skating peeps <3....I am so happy that I will be able put on my skates and skate around the rink, work on basis skills and just enjoy the ice "can't wait". Will take it very slow (sure knowing me..hahahaha) at first and not going to try any crazy stuff and yes, I will wear my halo lol. I am hoping to skate once a week for starters and gradually increase and build from that.
My main goal:
My only goal right now is to keep on with the recovery process...and keep up the spirit that all will be okay!! To find a test session and hopefully test before February, but if its not meant to be - then I have to really take a good look at the goals and decide what I want to do with my skating future.
Happy Skating
