It is really up to you, I know that it takes me about 3-4 months from each of my setback bumps to get to a settled state. It does not mean that I am better, but I am better able to handle the new symptoms and the old. Each person is different in how much they can handle, how much discomfort they are willing to deal with for the sake of the benefits of being active. I don't know if you could do the charity and then plan a week of relaxation and then plan a week of relaxation before and after your friends come for a visit.
Sometimes, I really need to just ignore the consequences and have a really great time, ignoring the pain and then the painful week or three that follow are still bearable because I had such a wonderful time.
But, as I said, each person's symptoms and lifestyle are different, so I can only say what I do.
Good Luck!
In Christ,
Margarite

Fell off a horse in late winter of 2009 blacked out for a couple seconds, had amnesia for 10 hours (still don't remember this time), had 2 CT scans, 2 MRI's, 1 MRA all negative. Since the first concussion I have continually knocked my head into different things purely by accident or from being stupid. These many concussions over a short period of time have caused
constant migraines, nausea, and dizziness/lack of balance.
Migraine triggers are:
light sensitivity (especially to florescent or bright lights)
sound sensitivity (especially to high pitched or loud sounds)
temperature sensitivity (especially to cold or extreme heat)
activity (especially if breathing increases or head is jostled)
pressure on head (sinuses, hats, headbands, sunglasses, pony-tails)
lacks or quality (food, sleep, water)
tension (stress, tight muscles, tired eyes, sickness)
