Districts my senior year (had alread taken one first and two seconds at district previous years) wrestling to get in the finals. My opponent hits a firemans carry on me in which I extend and post my head. Typically I am able to then sit and have a nice headlock on my opponent, but this time my oppenent didn't go to his hip. Instead he hit what I call a power firemans driving through. As I post my head I am knocked onconscious. I come too and my coach asks if I am alright and of course I say yeah, fine, but I could only see clearly through about a dime sized spot. I had a huge concussion and after wrestling back then forfeiting for 4th place at districts, then taking 3 flexeril per day pin my way through region and finally (with my dad saying I am not allowed to take any more flexeril) not being able to feel my hands at state and taking 5th. After earning my spot in college my coach told me I had to see a doctor and found out that I had a subluxation (spelling) which meant a partial dislocation that could never be fixed.
Now that is a move I wish never happenned.
