Message: [QUOTE="Cuango, post: 4469626, member: 3834"] I seem to remember Geno saying, last year, that Caroline was (paraphrasing) pretty shook up about the two consecutive situations where she apparently suffered some sort of head injury/knock. I’ve read about how players often, once they are physically recovered, go through a period of regaining trust in their body’s reliability/ability to function as it did prior to the injury. We are seeing that, to a somewhat lesser degree, in Dorka’s return from her thumb injury. She was physically cleared some time ago but needed time to fully trust it. How much more, for a scary head injury? If, as Geno suggested, she was worried/scared of another head injury, (as she would have every reason to be) perhaps what we are seeing,, in addition to the physical results of surgery/injury, is her gradual emergence from that concern. I know from my own life experiences that it is virtually impossible to perform at one’s best when you are preoccupied or concerned about things beyond the immediate task. Hopefully, she will continue to feel better and become more able to fully access the talent we all saw last season. [/QUOTE]
