I remember trying to get back to being able to run and just doing that made me feel unsteady.<br /><br />How they all happened are some entertaining stories for another time and consider myself an expert on all the weird symptoms one can get.<br /><br />Hope you feel better soon!Jen Naspinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17556238280582148059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763498271020432071.post-9042865052577363572011-02-10T17:58:24.449-05:002011-02-10T17:58:24.449-05:00Peterson actually I will judge the standard by sta...Peterson actually I will judge the standard by standing under the bar and them having to play peekaboo with me as they pop there whole face over.

At first is sucked but then like in the wod I was able to accept the suck...and i got through it. I learned a lot about letting go of ego and improved my upper body strength. have faith in what the experience will teach you. And I agree with everyone...listen to your body it will give you cues as to what you should or should not be doing!!steph vnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763498271020432071.post-87453239650492001332011-02-10T14:13:47.509-05:002011-02-10T14:13:47.509-05:00Hey all thanks for all the kind words and advice (...Hey all thanks for all the kind words and advice (and text messages!). I really appreciate it, you guys are the best. When I come back I'll make sure to let my coaches know and then spend some time with the good old pvc. I'll have to remember to listen to my body. I have a history of being stubborn and wanting to do what everybody else is doing, so I'm going to have to keep myself in check for the next few weeks. ;]<br /><br />Thanks again all! <8Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15339234104440187149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763498271020432071.post-3252235208528817022011-02-10T13:43:55.307-05:002011-02-10T13:43:55.307-05:00WOD from yesterday note:

I have had a concussion before and it can be scary...granted, when I had one I was the king of all coach potatos so it was pretty hard to do as the doctor prescribed. <br /><br />I think the person that will know best is your body. I would surely start light and at low intensity and build back up to it and if you experience any of the things that Mel pointed out, stop immediately. <br /><br />During an injury, it is a perfect time to work on form. I had people do Fran today with a PVC pipe and jumping pull-ups, ask them if it is was hard. Half were sitting on boxes saying thanks for the workout. <br /><br />Always listen to your body and follow MCI, not the exist phone company but mechanics, consistency and then intensity.Jason Lyonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08145200509096560866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763498271020432071.post-84409374889587084562011-02-10T12:18:25.321-05:002011-02-10T12:18:25.321-05:00Sandy, sorry to hear; in addition to rest, try to ...Sandy, sorry to hear; in addition to rest, try to hydrate as much as possible.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13193335869500920765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763498271020432071.post-84391761499927292722011-02-10T07:59:29.639-05:002011-02-10T07:59:29.639-05:00Hi Sandy,
First off, ouchie! I am sorry to hear ho...Hi Sandy,<br />First off, ouchie! I am sorry to hear how bad you bonked yourself. I agree with Dorothy. You essentially have a bruise on your brain so there isn't much you can do to speed up the healing process. You really need to rest and when your doctor clears you, listen to your body. If you feel any symptoms at all (dizziness, headache, flashes of light, nausea,- you know the typical things you feel after a WOD), you need to stop immediately and take more time off. Concussions can take weeks even months to heal and can take longer if you've had one before. I think working on mobility is a great idea, working with PVC, or light weight where you aren't bearing down too hard is a good idea. Take this time to work on skills and form. I know you worked really hard on those handstands but now might not be the time to do those! Also, I am sure you told him already but describe what we do again to your doctor and ask him how hard you are able to push yourself. Hang in there!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14944045752884094454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763498271020432071.post-50929719157453116322011-02-10T07:51:23.981-05:002011-02-10T07:51:23.981-05:00Sandy,

L...Hey Fellow KOP Crossfitters!<br /><br />Need some advice!<br /><br />Last week (Monday) I bonked my head really good and ended up with a concussion.. I’m still not feeling great so my doctor advised me to not workout till next week (Tuesday) and then to start light. Does anybody have a clue how I could do this with crossfit? Sometimes even the warm-ups are hard. ;] <br /><br />Also if anyone has any sage advice as to how to recover from this darn thing (exercise, or nutrition) I’d love to hear it. I’m getting really frustrated and want to get back to the gym. <br /><br />Thanks all!<br /><br />SandySandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15339234104440187149noreply@blogger.com
