I am sorry if im sounding impatient and I know some of you have long term battles with pcs but I just don't know where I'm at.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Sounds like you are making good progress.
For some perspective, 9 weeks is not a long time in the TBI/PCS world. Most mTBI patients do heal. The fact that you were able to give a two hour presentation without major problems is encouraging.
I believe that my progress was helped by getting back involved with work and a normal life. If you can pursue normal activates (cognitive as well as physical) without exacerbating any symptoms I would encourage you to continue to do so. Your brain will tell you if you are doing too much.
Best to you as you continue to recover.
