Concussed...

While most people spent their New Years eve celebrating at midnight, I was laying on the couch with an ice pack. Unfortunately an accident at practice that morning resulted in the pole unbending and hitting me in the back of the head. I insisted that I was fine, but my coach knows me a little too well and sent me to see the trainer anyways. As my first meet was supposed to be on Monday, I will not be cleared in time in order to compete. This is a huge dissapointment, but I am going to have to accept that there is nothing I can do except sit this one out and rest, and i'll be back in time for the next one. It's not the best way to start 2016, but I have a feeling this will still be a good year!
