You need to find some manual activities to do. Playing solitaire with real cards. Hand crafts, etc. are all good. The hands can not move any faster than an injured brain can tolerate as long as there is not a fast visual component (no video games).
Just because the doctors said you do not have a neck injury does not rule out a subtle neck injury. Many neck injuries caused by concussions are not chronically symptomatic. Any neck soreness is a sign of at least a subtle neck injury. If you are going to sleep upright, use pillows to prevent your head from dropping off to the side. Whiplash with a concussion is a very complex injury.
I expect the doctor would have examined your ears. Did he ? Was the blood just from a scratch ?

Hand crafts I can certainly do! I'll just have to replenish some missing supplies and I'll be good to go. Thank you!
Yeah I think I have something like 5 pillows propping me up with a backup pillow angled down both sides, and I lay in the middle of a queen bed.
If there is a subtle neck injury, is there any way to know for sure?
Yes, my ears were examined and he couldn't find blood or scratches anywhere, and as the CT scan came up negative the source of the blood remains a mystery.
