Man, what a roller-coaster 2 weeks it's been. Concussion isn't fun.
Here's my timeline;
Saturda. Got hit hard in tbe head. Vision changed for a few minutes, but otherwise it was a pretty weak punch.
-felt ok on Sunday and Monday. Did some hard training in my own. Probably not a good idea.
Tuesday- started feeling anxious and sad. Periodic headaches.
Wednesday- freaky time starts. Scared of my own shadow. Hate boxing, hate the world and all tve people in it scared to make eye contact at the gym.
Thursday- convinced everyone is laughing at me and has been behind my back for years when I have been boxing. Convinced anyone in the gym could kick my ass (including the 17 year old girls).
Friday. Took day off work to rest. No exercise except for a walk.
Saturday and Sunday. Still hate the world, headaches constantly, insomnia.
Monday- anxious, but improving. Saw doctor and got a scan. Can't handle any light or noise.
Tuesday. Improving. Can't listen to audio books or normal music. Classical was the only thing I can handle.
Wednesday. Back on creatine. I think it helps. Mikd headaches, brain fog lifting. Heavy technical day at work handled ok.
Friday. Mild headaches,but mostly normal.
Still not interested in boxing at all. I hope that shifts soon.
Let me be straight with you. That's a hell of a two weeks you've been through, and it takes real guts to lay out that timeline. It's clear you've been through the wringer, and the fact that you're even thinking about getting back to it, despite the 'not interested in boxing at all' feeling, shows your resilience. The brain fog lifting with creatine is a good sign, and we'll keep an eye on that. For tomorrow, I need you to prioritize rest and gentle movement, not high-intensity training, and keep logging your food. We're not going to outrun a bad recovery, especially with a concussion.
