I’m not going to lie I’m really gutted that I couldn’t attend day 1 today but after hitting my head (again) & twisting my back (yet again) I had no choice but to go to bed, Thanks to hitting my head once or many times in the Military I have Neuropathic Migraines that are not nice & Again thanks to a Combat Fitness Test 20 Dec 2001 approaching the 4 Mile water break running down a steep rutted training area road & my left foot found a Pot Hole (I was carrying 80-100lbs) my foot stayed straight my left knee sips traumatic dislocation & unbeknown until a few years later my spine
Was twisted like a roll of Bubble Wrap causing degenerative nerve damage from left shoulder to left foot. I hit the ground squealing like a stuck pig, Gently Encouraged to get up by my Troop Staff & assisted to the front of the Squadron & told suck it up buttercup you’ve got another 4 miles & the assault course to complete today. This was my first fitness test since I was released from rehab following surgery to re-attach both my Achilles tendons that I ripped off the bone whilst deployed to Bosnia in April to November 96. This long winded explanation is why I had to go lay down in a dark room with ice packs after what would seem to most people to be a petty bump ‘ not exactly a good reason for missing today’s session. I apologise for boring anyone who has read my post & for missing day 1 today
