Concussion Experiences

[aephi alum]

My husband was mugged when he was 12, and wound up with a concussion. He doesn't remember the incident. He was kept in the hospital for 2 days. When he was discharged, the doc told his mother he should take it easy... so my super-over-protective MIL forbade him from participating in ANY extracurricular activities for the rest of the school year. Y'know, because it's so easy to get a concussion from singing in the choir. Anyway, he was back at school about a week after the attack.

Hope your son and the other wrestler have speedy recoveries.

If they were really concerned, they wouldn't have sent him home quickly. Sometimes they'll keep someone on the 23 hour stay unit to keep an eye on them. Hope they feel better soon (and I hope someone does something about the vicious wrestling team too)

One of my sisters had a nanny who shook her baby. There was no injury involved until she saw the video (hidden in a stuffed animal). She slapped the nanny, who denied the whole episode. People are so stupid.

So today is the huge tournament at our son's high school and he and the other boy can only help. I swear, if I'd seen him being thrown, I would have gone after the cheater; his older brother said he would have been down there too. Older brother is big and in tip top shape...

Anyway, the good news is that after the boy threw our son, our son rose up in a fog of fury and pinned him and won. Then he sank down in a daze.

I don't understand why refs who never call infractions are allowed to continue to officiate. I don't understand why that school is allowed to keep wrestling.

You weren't the only one! Science Boy had a super-human thirst for knowledge! The rest was just crap from the street.
