Wrestler,

Read up on snowboarder Kevin Pearce. He suffered a second concussion three weeks after a previous concussion.

You are already a part of the Multiple Impact Syndrome crowd. This means that each successive impact (concussion or even sub-concussion) will cause more damage from an even lighter impact. You experience with in-ring training is proof of this.

You have a very important decision to make. How do you want to live the last years (decades) of your life? Do you want to have lose cognitive functions? Do you want to struggle to remember names (kids, grandkids)? Do you want to lose your ability to drive? Do you want a much higher risk of Alzheimer's Disease and/or Parkinson's Disease?

In simple terms, do you want to live like Muhammad Ali or the many retired NFL players who have severe dementia in their 40's?

I strongly doubt these were your first concussions. You are likely well into the Multiple Impact Syndrome progression.

Even when you feel like you have recovered fully, you have not. Go on-line to www.Positscience.com and www.lumosity.com and do the free games. Lumosity has a seven day free pass to their full program. Do the full assessment and report back with your scores. We can then compare notes. WWW.ImPACTTest.com has an online test you can take if you know of a local specialist that can receive the report. It is best when used to set a baseline and then taken after a concussion.

Ask you wife to do some on-line research on concussions and NFL and also Kevin Pearce. Suggest she read up on being a caregiver to a person with a brain injury. Amazon has plenty of books for caregivers.

You can also do some research into the marriage statistics of brain injury people. Many if not most marriages do not survive the personality changes and other behavioral changes that come with Post Concussion Syndrome.

You are still early in the syndrome. It will only get worse. Your brain is already telling you that it does not have a strong tolerance for impacts.

The big question should be, Which future concussion will change your life forever? Which concussion will cause you to lose all opportunities to earn a living?

Maybe you can buy a long term disability insurance policy that will support you in your later years. Be forewarned that Social Security Disability Income pays you enough to qualify for Food Stamps and all of the other poverty assistance programs. Not much more.
