I saw that too-I'm thinking this is pretty much part of her treatment regiment nowadays....

I agree! For those Shakespearians " THINKING MAKES IT SO" ( Somewhere in Hamlet, right?)

Shakespeare? I always thought that quote was attributed to Jean-Luc Picard.
Right. The full quote is "There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." Pretty much genius in and of itself. He definitely would have been a UCONN fan!
When the TV panned over to show that - it immediately gave me concern as well.
Maybe people in the know are privy to the fact that this is routine or benign, but to the casual TV fan it looks concerning.
One of my favorite players - hope her injuries are behind her.
I originally thought the Jana back comment was crazy, but then I read about Aaron Rogers who was injured in Sept. trying to come back in December, (Jana injured before Sept.) and years ago some Russian gymnast tore his tendon and was back on the floor and the beam competing in the Olympics 3 months later. The articles talked about new methods to speed healing. I remember back around 1970 a Princeton basketball player tore his tendon and there was talk that meant his NBA career was likely doomed. It took him a full year to recover, but he did play in the NBA. But maybe now they can get people back up and running sooner. Who knows? Time will tell and we shall see. I expect next year, but would love to be surprised. Now if they just help Caroline (or is she now Carol?) get better slowly, but SURELY AND FINALLY, that would make me feel better.
If Jana could come back by the end of February and get some practice in it, it would be a Godsend from heaven. Wishful thinking, but, why not. GET HEALTHY JANA!!!! GO HUSKIES!!!!

I saw that as well. It can't be a good omen.
Careful what you post or Boreifs will challenge your fanhood.

I watched most of the interview where she spoke in depth of her rehab & preventative actions that she takes to insure that she's not exacerbating her situation (monitoring screen time, earplugs, dark glasses, etc). I view the ice bag as something that must help her with "something" when she comes off the floor. Maybe the ice is precautionary. Maybe it alleviates the sensation of something that is like a stinger. I don't know. Whatever works for her so that she can pay multiple shifts during a game is good for the team.

As previously discussed, Jana did not have the new procedure that Rodgers had. Thus her absolute best case might be for her to be ready to play a little bit in March - but that would be very unlikely. And even if she were ready, they would not burn a year of eligibility to get a few minutes out of a player who hadn't played or practiced much for over seven months.
I agree with you that we need her to be able to at least rotate with Aubrey and I certainly hope all is well with her, However, I did think it was appropriate to point out something that no one in the media had noted-that she had an ice bag on her head, as she so often did last year.

I seriously doubt Aaron Rodgers is coming back any time soon. And Jana should take her time. She's too important to Ruch her back into anything.
As for Caroline, she likes icing her head in between shifts. I don't think it means anything's wrong.
