I'm sad to report that Rebecca Knox has suffered a head injury following a match a couple of weekends ago in Germany. She got a cut over her eye which caused her to have to get stitched up after the match... and well, I'll let Rebecca take over the story

From www.rebeccaknox.net

hey all,

I am so sorry I have not been in touch in a while. I have been in and out of
hospital and have not been able to get access to the internet in over a
week.

I am very upset I have to write this email because I have to cancel all
future dates until December. I am not sure if you had heard about the knock
to the head I got in Germany a few weeks ago or not, but I got a bad cut
above the eye and it was stitched up and all seemed fine. But after a few
days I was getting extremely painful headaches, loud buzzing in my left ear
and my vision in my left eye is completely blurred. The doctor has told me
it may be damage to the 8th cranial nerve and I am waiting for a ct brain
scan and have been adviced to stop wrsetling for the next few months. It
could be permanent or it could go away by itself. but untill all signs have
been allevated I will not be able to engage in any heavy physical activity

This breaks my heart as the main reason I am in Florida is to wrestle and I
am so upset that I have to cancel my upcoming dates, This is the first
serious injury I have had and I am disappointed that I have to let you down!

I apologise sincerely and hope you have great shows, I am so sorry I wont be
there!

Yours sincerely,
Rebecca
