OK sorry to have a big public sooky la la about it - I think my situation is a little different to others here though.

Luckily my movement is not constricted and there's nowhere I know of on my body which is particularly vulnerable to being hit.

I'm going to go but I just won't be able to train hard leading up to it so it's going to be an extra loooong taper! I can still do shadow though so I guess that's something at least!
