Sara,
Attending athletic events are way too much stimulation for PCS recovery. I can understand why you are so miserable. Your kids need you more as a steady mom at home than they need you at their games. You can have someone else take them to games. When they get home, give them some one on one time is a quiet room to tell you about the game. The multiple voices, screams, etc. is far more than your brain can handle.
Same goes with neuro rehab clinics. They often overload you with treatments and tasks. There is a big difference between waking a brain that was comatose (lots of frequent therapy) and gently helping a post concussion brain sort things out.
I honestly do not agree with therapies OT, ST, for PCS. My limit to therapies is to learn the limits and work-arounds for dealing with current symptoms. Each symptom needs to be addressed individually.
Trying to push through rarely, if ever works. I don't know of anybody who has successfully pushed through to recovery.
Your daughter sounds like she can be good support. Ask her to help you slow down and keep things quiet. Bless her heart. She sounds like she can become your rock.
Have her check out the links at the bottom of my Vitamins and Nutrition thread/post.
My best to you.
