Please keep in mind that the primary concern should be preventing a second impact. Your skill set for school work and athletics may recover to an almost complete level but your susceptibility to a devastating second impact will still be high.

Your current struggles with memory should be considered seriously. I endured many minor concussions that I appeared to recover from, aside from the personality changes, insomnia and headaches. I was able to retrain my brain with math exercises, etc. When my memory was damaged in 2001, my whole world changed. It has not been the same since.

I can tell you that living with dysfunctional memory is the worst. I have a friend in a wheel chair from a back injury. I am sometimes envious of her. Her brain, especially memory works fine. What I would give up to have a properly functioning memory.
