Glad to hear you're clearing up too.

It doesn't sound like much of a concussion history compared to some of the people on this forum, but the fact that you had PCS symptoms suggests to me that your brain has reached its capacity for this sort of impact. The general picture seems to be not just that symptoms are worse with subsequent concussions, but that those concussions also happen more easily. So an impact that would previously not have bothered you, may now result in a concussion. If I were you I would be extremely cautious from here on in.
There's plenty of fun and stimulating stuff you can do in life that doesn't put you at risk of a concussion.
