Don't blame it on football!

Justin plays football. He gets hit all the time. This is not new. What stinks is when you get a concussion. I know what your thinking... that's football for you. But, this was not a football injury. It was 13 year old nonsense... playing in the pool, and diving into 3 1/2 feet of water, head first. He somehow stumbled out of the pool... and his little sister was smart enough to get Mom. When he couldn't remember what just happened, his vision was impaired and was screaming that everything was dizzy... I assumed he probably had hit his head hard enough for a concussion. We took him to the chiropractor he thought he probably didn't do major damage to his spinal cord... but did knock things "out of whack". And definately sustained a moderate concussion. So, no hitting at football for a week! Justin is SO dissapointed. What do you expect? Haven't I told you not to do stupid things in the pool? HELLO!!! When do kids learn they are not invincible? Luckily it's the beginning of the season. So, he does have a concussion.... but don't blame it on football!
