I guess its just me then. Truly it seem to be very polarized - with many having great life success and also a higher number than expected facing death by accidental causes, drug overdoses, etc.
Unusually bad headache is a key sign. For us it was the furnace in the basement that had the ventilation tube blocked and my room was the next obvious place for the gas to escape. Our family doctor eventually diagnosed it and asked us to check the carbon monoxide again. We used a new detector and it went off sure enough.
Is it just me or do we have more than our fair share of personal tragedies in our sport? Some of the most tragic stories im aware of are in the wrestling world.
Is this just in my imagination or
Is there any possible explanation for the causation/correlation?
On the other hand, the best I ever wrestled was when I had been counted out by everyone because of injury. And that was my most impressive wrestling I've ever done. I had to relearn how to walk after a nearly fatal car crash and was in a wheel chair in November and won the league conferences in February and placed 7th in states. They even put me on a TV special on the local news for the comeback element (my wrestling on its own was never that level of noteworthy)
If my parents had more legal savvy, I'm sure there was a lawsuit to be had. That was never my parents style though and they often bemoan those that would engage in petty lawsuits. I'd argue this one was not petty lol
when I wrestled significantly worse than my usual self - there would typically be a reason -- wrestling through injury, mismanaged the the weight cut. I ended up wrestling the first half of my sophomore year with carbon monoxide poisoning on a daily basis in just a moderate amount that built up and caused me all sorts of problems. I even had a detector but it was a dud.
This is grat stuff dude. Thank you for sharing these. I was doing it the old fashioned way which takes long and is filled with errors. I need to get better with AI
