Replying to Hit my head hard today. first serious injury.
so today, things were going great. im progressing alot this season. im at my usual park, putting together a nice line. coming up to my last rail i decide to skip my speed check and i just go for it. i come in too high and fast and end up slipping out, falling head first into the ground. my head feels like your arm would if youve ever been electrocuted. buzzing/vibrating. im down and my head is pulsating. next thing i know some gaper in a ruroc is standing over me telling me how gnarly that fall was. i cant even understand what or who im looking at, but i get up, dazed, and put my skis on and ski all wobbly down to the patrol hut.
turns out i passed the tests but it looks like i have a concussion, everything seems pretty good now and i feel better than earlier, but im just wondering, what now? im not gonna stop skiing and hitting rails and stuff because i fell, but this whole thing has just totally messed with my confidence. im gonna be back out there shredding next weekend and i just hope all goes well.
so yeah. i dont even know if im making sense right now or why im posting this but. yea. any of you guys get an injury that just messes with your confidence or a concussion? how do you recover ? im not gonna be a pussy about it and stop skiing like my parents think i should do.
and have any of you whove had concussions had problems getting back out there? any advice? just take it easy? im pretty sure my seasons not over but still man, shit sucks
