Etters,
Glad you posted! No two concussions are alike. You are lucky your dad is a doc and can look out for you. You are also lucky to be aware of the potential severity a concussion can cause. I have had five and thinking back to my first and second ones, I didn't really realize the damage the could cause. The hard thing about concussions is that we can't see them. You may start to notice things because you are aware. I noticed that when I would exercise my head would swell (my baseball cap would get to be too tight). I also noticed I was very forgetful and irritable and nauseous. I would just suggest that you pay attention to the signs your body is giving you and don't brush them off. Maybe you will be lucky and recover right away on your own with some time. I certainly hope that is the case for you. Keep us posted on your progress.
