Concussion Talk Podcast

Katrina.32.Athlete & Entrepreneur.Been playing competitive hockey for 25 years.No known Concussions until a severe hit from behind in hockey March 2019. Didn’t know I was concussed until 10 days later and things spiralled from there. My body shut down. Hospitalized almost a week (endless testing and bright loud environment made it worse). I had to relearn how to walk, talk. Couldn’t work or function normally for 6 months. Shared my story on social media. A friend took me to Ottawa Performance Care and after 8 months of twice a day rehab they gave me my life back. I could walk, talk and begin to live again. I’d say I’m 90% healed. I have many good days and some bad and although my life may never be the same pre concussion, I will never stop bringing awareness and continuing to live life in a slower, more calculated and present lane. Forever grateful for support from family, friends and strangers. You can heal. One day at a time.
