Thanks for the advice. School is a long way away, so I don't think I'll have too much trouble when the time comes. I have been feeling well for a while now. I do not plan to change course academically and will be taking a full load. I am definitely finished with soccer. I won't be playing the sport any more (it was more of just a one-time thing and I happened to be unlucky). My other 2 concussions happened when I was younger and had know ill-effects. I am hoping to live as close to normal life as possible. I will avoid future head injury at all costs though. Thanks for the advice!

Be very careful to avoid risks to your head. Stay away from soccer fields.

When you return to college, I suggest you start with a lighter class load until you get settled into your academic efforts. You may find that you struggle under too much stress. Eat healthy and get good rest.

Mt third concussion was freshman year in college. I ended up needing to change my direction academically. No more pre-med/pre-dent. Changed to business.

Glad to know you feel well enough to get going again.

My best to you.
