Back on the Trainer
Well last night I did 90 minutes on the trainer, on my road bike, with no headaches, no body aches. Good sign.
You would think, I would think, that a 'simple' concussion would run its course within a week. Yet here I am day 7 still not sure how much longer I will sleep than normal and not really sure what is going to come out of my mouth.
My normal 6 hours of sleep is still in the 7.5 or more range. I have not mollified any one person today with the words coming out of my mouth but I have certainly startled some of our new employees going through our university in the room next door with humor and language more akin to my time in the jungle than my position within the business they are joining.
Today I am not so much worried about the sleep and the impulsivity of my language as I am about my unconscious eating. Normally kept in check with my willpower, that vital energy is now directed to other functions and I could eat for hours and never feel full. I have easily put on weight in the last week.
At least the race this weekend has focused my nutrition better and it should pull me through this last few days before hopefully a complete recovery.
And yes I may be putting a nice helmet on my Christmas this year.

i want you to wear the helmet all Christmas!
the 90 minutes riding is a great sign, and great news!!
just remember you have nothing to prove to anyone my friend, you do what's right for you... although, of all people, you are probably the only one that doesn't need that cliche.
I'm a very big fan of nice helmets!
(Ain't no such thing as a simple concussion -- they're all different, and heal in their own way and time. Keep on taking care!!)
Oh I bet you have (usually dormant) language skillz that could curl the hair of new employees!
Make sure it's a really nice helmet you love, because it sounds like you should wear it EVERYWHERE! ;-)
Perhaps one of these
