It's amazing how fragile one feels after a bad concussion, isn't it? Every movement is made with the utmost care, and you half expect something to loom up out of nowhere to snuff you out.
I would never have thought, nearly 3 years after my accident, that I would be worried about jumping rope... but of course that is the first thing I thought about when I first picked up my sisters jumprope. I'm happy to say jumping rope didn't negatively impact me at all, but I wouldn't have even considered it just a few weeks or months after my accident.
