And get whole again - SOON!
And, how could parents not find out? You know they've got eyes in the back of their heads. I'll bet that they were worried stupid about all sorts of possiblities themselves, just didn't let on because you'd be/get 'worried'. Can I say DUH? here???
A b'ball game is just that, a 'game' [tho at times it mite seem like more]. You have a potential life altering issue - tho it may just be one that will take time to heal. That is what I sure am hoping for!
IF you get to see a neurologist? Here is what to expect...Until I got my neuro issues I knew they existed? But didn't have a clue what they'd do!

Having an idea about what all goes on during and exam, which is usually different from what a General doc would look for, helps a lot!
It'd be likely useful to include a 'list' such as you articulated [quite well, may I say] about all the problems you've been having... I keep mine on a stenographers' pad that I can fit in my purse and tote around easily [finding a pen is a different matter?] And that way you can check off problems, and give the doc 'clues' as to what's been happening to you. This all is important because what you HEAR isn't always what gets registered in your brain when an appt is over. A LOT goes on? Info is exchanged and you come out of it w/a brain full of mush -simply glad it's 'over with'. IF he says anything about what it mite be? Ask him to spell it out! That way you can look it up and/or ask us! We'll point you in the rite directions.
Don't forget? Your folks are likely scared too! So give them special hugs to let them know, well, you know. UNtil the appt? Keep yourself together as best you can. Things can and will get better! - j 's
