![I won’t lie, part of me had been hoping the doctor would say no when I asked if I could jump in a freezing pool on Saturday, in fact it was a bit of a surprise when my request was met with enthusiastic encouragement! Apparently it might help me recover more quickly, and if it helps clear my head then I am game! Now I’m not a regular when it comes to cold water swimming so I hit up one of the @realbuzzcom experts Adam Walker, because if anyone is going to have good advice it’s a man who has conquered the Oceans 7 swim challenge! Head over to the blog to check out Adam’s tips, the link is in my profile 🏊🏻♀️ [collaboration with @realbuzzcom]

![Concussion: a temporary injury to the brain caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head. Or landing on your chin when you stack it walking the dog. At least that’s what happened to me, one flat out fall later and I have a graze on my chin and a brain that’s definitely not firing on all cylinders 🧠 one bump has led to a headache that won’t go away, nausea, drowsiness and 4-6 weeks recovery where I’m not totally going to feel myself (give or take vagueness, my mum reckons my family won’t notice that one) 🧠 All I can say is I’m glad this didn’t happen last week when I had loads of papers due and that it wasn’t worse, brain injuries are no joke and what’s going on with me is at the minor end of the scale, a bang to the head can be life changing 🧠 the good news is the doctor reckons running will help me recover AND that jumping in Brockwell Lido for @crisis_uk could help too! 🧠 also it’s taken me hours to write this caption...breaks have been required.
