PCS Mikey,

I am sorry to hear about your regression. I have been through this many times.

With your history of diverticulitis, you know the need to moderate your diet. You know the risks of eating strawberries or other seedy fruit. You can eat a strawberry but know the risk is not worth the enjoyment.

Now, you have a new set of standards. Toe jumps are no different than the pounding from running.

I have learned to plan ahead for events that will require high functioning. I just got back from a week in Pittsburgh at a trade show. I rested up the week before. I have done this many times. Or, I don't plan to rest up ahead but plan to need time to recover. Either one works.

The important issue is learning how to work with and tolerate our condition. Many if not most of us will always have to be aware of the risks of a return of symptoms. At minimum, we all need to be aware of the risk of another head impact whether it is direct to our head or indirect from some other jarring action.

The important thing is to learn from our mistakes and take risks knowlingly.

My best to you.
