Sorry to hear of your situation, but Mark in Idaho has given you some great advice.

The most important thing to do after sustaining a concussion is to allow your brain time to REST. That means no TV, no strenuous exercise, and even no studying. As a serious student that can sometimes be the hardest part.

When my brother and I started researching the long term effects of concussions, one of the recurring problems was finding that most didn't allow sufficient time for the injury to heal before going back to regular activity. I can't tell you how many of our friends went right back onto the playing field after getting their 'bell rung' because they didn't even realize they had just had a concussion. A "bell-ringer" sounds so much better than a "brain injury", but its really the same thing!

Glad you're getting the help you need and hopefully are now on the road for a full recovery.
