… for the first time ever, I was having so much fun and I was doing really well in the beginning. Then I started pushing off and skating a little harder. I shouldn’t have done that, because the next thing I knew was that I was in a stretcher being worked on by EMTs. Apparently I fell and hit my head on the ice and got a concussion, also got a very bruised tail bone. Ouch! I’m fine. I had a cat scan and an X-ray. All’s well. I do have a concussion though, and do not, not for the world, remember the fall. However, my anxiety is gone. I has massive amounts of anxiety the last 10 days or so, but it’s gone!!! I feel light and airy and calm and at peace. How did that happen? Maybe I simply needed a clomp on the head, ha ha ha. Will it last? I hope so. I hate anxiety, feeling like the world is ending for no reason whatsoever. A concussion cured anxiety! At least for the moment. Not happy about my head and tailbone pain but thrilled about the absence of anxiety. And I have promised myself I’m going to learn how to skate like a pro. Oh yes I am!

Oh my God – I love ice skating and I was excitedly telling Craig about your post (which I was reading/looking at the series of pictures in real time) and then I got to the photo with the EMT’s!!!!!!!!! :000000 :((((((((((((((((((((
At least the anxiety is gone – that’s FANTASTIC and most important, you’re okay! I’ve slammed down on my tailbone long ago and I suspect I fractured it. The pain was insane. What I would do if that happened now is take arnica homeopathic pills (they are supposed to be safe to take with most meds) & arnica external gel – everyone laughs at me about using arnica, but it works!!!!!!!! And it’s cheap!!! Just a thought. 😉
Love you Samina!
Glad you’re okay!
And I’m super-proud you’ll try skating again – woo hoo!

Thank you Dyane! I’ll try Arnica. Ugh I feel kind of stupid going out in the ice without a helmet. Always going to wear s helmet from now on. And yes, amazingly enough, the anxiety is still pretty much gone! Love you too little Dyane.

Wow they think I’m gorgeous! Two of the most gorgeous girls I’ve seen! Yes, never go on the ice without a helmet, concussions (I have one 😞) are NOT fun. Love to all three of my gorgeous girls.

Wow!! Glad you are okay! If it is any consolation, I typically go “ass over teakettle” when I try to ice skate, so welcome to the club!! 😉

I’m totally intrigued that a concussion quieted your anxiety.

It came back yesterday, but maybe not as bad. I think maybe it was the endorphins that me brain produced to stop the pain.
