So this is just a reminder to us all. Make sure you take care of even the minor booboos. Don't let the little stuff go, because they could turn out to be big issues later on. BSBN Bo gave me a great piece of advice during phase testing last week. He said "Don't be stubborn. Take care of yourself." He has serious knee issues that keep him from doing a lot of things, so he knows. I ended up with quite a bit of tissue bruising on my shins and knees from sparring yesterday. I am a runner so this is one of the reasons why I don't spar very often because I am very worried about my knees and ankles. Today I hit a wall (pain wise) so I am trying to take care of myself after running. Keep pushing, take care of yourself and listen to your partner in class.

Melissa,
ReplyDeleteAs my wise old doctor has told me several times when you have a wrist or ankle injury it isn't completely healed until a week has passed since the pain goes away. Just listen to your body and it will get better. Sometimes rest is the best thing you can do to heal.
