Megumi Fujii blogged today about her 2010 injuries and about how she almost quit in the spring. Thanks to @DanHerbertson for the link and he talked about it on Twitter. But not everyone is on Twitter. So this is for them.Megumi says it all started in March with a lower back hernia and a slipped disc. I'm not a doctor and I don't play one on TV. But I can't walk because of a spinal cord injury. So some of her subsequent issues are the result of not dealing with these initial spinal cord injuries. So if she hasn't already done it, I would urge Megumi to undergo an MRI to see what's going on in the ol' spinal column and undergo appropriate therapy. Spinal cord injuries don't improve with age. They get worse. I speak from experience. So the disc is pinching the nerve. And at first she has tingling and pain in her legs and then no feeling in her legs. She tries to rest it but it's not really helping. She did MIKU's retirement show in April and it made her think about retirement because of the pain. She lost her big toenail in May but it came back in November. In July during training (I think), she tore her left pectoral muscle. And during the match against Lisa Ward in September, she suffered a rib cartilage injury. Those kind of injuries are easily healed but the spinal cord stuff isn't that simple. She says she has changed her warmup routine. She's just doing it more slowly. And she hopes for no more injuries in 2011. I still think an MRI is in order. You can follow her on Twitter at @MegaMeguCat We all want to see pics of her cats on Twitter. The accompanying pic is from after her recent win over Emi Fujino courtessy of Gravity.
