I had a "moderate concussion" in the sense that I was knocked out for a short time but did not have amnesia or other severe symptoms at first. However, the back of my bike helmet shattered, so it was an intense impact. I am hoping to be completely healed soon and am trying to remain positive. One of the things I didn't realize at first as how counter-productive caffeine intake is! I love, love, love my coffee, but still cannot take caffeine in any form. I do wonder how long this will last.
Thank you again for your supportive words. They are making a huge difference today.
