I'd experienced my head bonk over 15 years ago, and docs are far far better at diagnosis now than ever before - technology IS in your favor!
Winks? I know how easy it can be to go
PANIC ALERT! when things happen at first? But the trick is to recognize it IS a 'panic alert' and then tell yourself FIRMLY that, OK it's a PA, let's just calm down and let it pass. IF you try and force memory or calmness? It just doesn't happen. Be sure to take deep breathes and expel [or whatever the guru of the day says] the panic OUT! Just being aware at most times can help you regroup and get yourself back together.
One doc explained concussion as your brain getting partially scrambled as a result of the injury. It takes time for things to get back together again.
Margarite is right about the 'remembering' part too. Do see a specialist if you can and just get the either treatment or reassurances you need to get on with things.
And? IF you can, please go love a warm furry nose etc for me! Don't forget the carrots or apples! Horses don't go 'Yumm' when they're chomping? But they do often make some deliteful happy sounds! - j
