incline bench concussion

travelbug

Yup I got an actual concussion! I was using an incline leg press but was having troubles moving the backrest up because the pin was sticking. Suddenly the huge, metal seat came tumbling down on my head. I didn't black out and no, none of the gym boys saw the crash, thank god. I didn't go to the hospital for a few days hoping the pain, dizziness and sleepiness would go away. Well it didn't and now a doctor has confirmed a concussion and soft tissue damage in my neck.
Super.
Great for ruining the workout routine. Will need a bit more healing time.
I just recovered from having my cornea torn by my eye doctor two weeks ago.

Once you get to know me this is more of the same.

Hope you're all doing better. Keep up with the great motivational stories.

Thanks everyone. It was too funny to not share with you. The most unreal accidents and illnesses happen to me. I'm thinking about writing a book, sure to be a comedy. On the road to recovery, again!

Too kind, my new favourite person! I got the dress from Le Chateau. Love it!
It's what's hiding below the waist that needs improvement and with the way I keep hurting myself I need all the strength I can get. lol!

Oh dear, I still feel so badly for you about your accident!

But thanks for the info on the dress! I always forget about Le Chateau! I'll have to hit it up. Thanks!
