Concussion - Don't Worry, It's Minor

Well I've got kind of a sad/funny story... we did a Team Tabata workout on Sat. (20 sec on, 10 sec off x8 rounds for each type - pushups, squats, situps, pull ups, etc.) Anyway, I've get really clammy hands, especially when I work out, so I was doing pullups and my hands slipped from the bar. I used the chalk they have there, but chalk doesn't last for too long on my hands :( Anyway, I ended up falling flat on my back and head - went to the doctor and they said I probably had a minor concussion, so now I'm taking a muscle relaxer for my back (so if I seemed a little tired this weekend doing the weather, you know why. So the funny part about this was that I had just ordered palm grips like they use in gymnastics at the beginning of the week, and sure enough, when the mail came on Saturday, they grips were in my mailbox... too bad they came then instead of 24 hours earlier - would have helped!
I ended up taking another rest day today just to let my body try and recuperate from the fall, but I'll be doing a swim workout tomorrow, the doctor said my head is normal (as normal as it can be ;) so that's good)
Safe training!
