Default I know what you mean

Qwerty02 I too experience the "spacey" kind of disconnected feeling you describe. I am new to this site and this will be my second post. My concussion symptoms have come from several diagnosed concussion in the past two years, the worst concussion coming from a hockey hit I suffered playing in goal. This happened in January of this year and it took me a while to return to a somewhat normal activity level. I had gotten to the point where the lingering symptoms of poor balance, memory issues and sensitivity to noise were almost tolerable with certain modifications I made to my daily activity. Then I hit my head on a door and the symptoms immediately increased. The impact test showed I suffered another concussion and this time my reaction time was so bad my doctor restricted me from driving. I has been about three weeks and things are improving slowly but I am still unable to drive. The one constant in this whole experience is the feeling you describe of being "spacey". I have learned that I need to listen to the doctor and follow his instructions closely. In January I tried to push myself too fast to get better and it caused my recovery to be delayed. I believe I will get better it just might take a little longer than I would like. Just take your time, don't push yourself and listen to your doctor. The extra week or two you take it easy will pay off in the end with a better recovery, trust me.
