Here is the message from her yahoo group:
Hi everyone,
my husband and I have been working out together at home for almost three weeks and were doing really well. Part of the work
is doing pull ups on an exercise bare that goes over a doorway. With these, you can use a chair placed a small distance from the
bar so that you can place one foot on the edge to help a bit. You are at a slight angle so you are actually raising your body with
your arms. As I was doing my pull ups yesterday, somehow, the bar came off and landed on my tailbone/hips and slammed my
head on the floor...ceramic tile floor. I was out for a few seconds came to with electricity coursing around in my head and
shooting down my arms and legs. I could not move for the pain and didn't want to try for fear of something worse. My DH called
the ambulance and was taken to the hospital. They took X-rays and also did a brain scan. Nothing was broken and no serious
damage to my head. I did suffer a concussion. Thank God that's all that happened. I am in so much pain that I was sure I had some
kind of fracture in my tail bone or pelvis, never mind my head. Thank you God!
I was sent home with pain medication and something for the nausea, which is much improved today...I couldn't turn my head
much yesterday without the whole room going into a spin.
I'm using the lap top to read email, but I can't do it for very long at a time. Everything causes nausea.
Just wanted you to know why I may seem quite for a few days.
Prayers are appreciated...I'm moving REALLY slow because of the pain.
Thank you!
