Red Sox center fielder Coco Crisp had to leave Tuesday’s game in Baltimore after feeling dizzy, and while Francona said yesterday that Crisp is feeling better, the outfielder admitted he’s suffering from a “mild case” of vertigo.
Crisp said he really can’t describe the feeling, which he called a pounding sensation, but said it ranks as a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10.
He’s been taking medication for it and he joked about it, saying maybe he’s taking too many pills.
Crisp dealt with an inner-ear issue last season, which caused dizziness and nausea. He said this latest bout feels similar to that.
“I’m still feeling a little lightheaded,” he said. “But I feel like tomorrow or the next day I’ll be back to 100 percent.”
Everything except the part about being sure I’ll be feeling 100% by tomorrow
Those athlethes get all the press, you’d think they would have the best of medical care. I wonder if somebody will figure out what’s going on with these dizzy jocks.
P.S. And I wonder even more why my husband didn’t report this one to me
I agree with Julie, everything but the “100%” tomorow."
I now go with ‘I will be doing better tomorow,’ don’t know how much, but darn it, I will be doing better. I also accept that it may not work out the way I want it to, and accept whatever comes.
