I did take a very long, extensive period of rest after my accident. The first ten days, I took it easy. But when I realized it wasn't 'just' a concussion - I took a week off work and did nothing but sit inside. I did a few days back at work, then another week off.

I spent almost two months indoors spinning easy on my stationary bike about an hour a day just to keep my legs loose and to keep my body from stiffening up. Since I'm so used to physical activity, sitting fully still feels horrible! So an hour easy spinning feels very good and is low stress.

I've been seeing PT for my neck and to help with the PCS symptoms/headaches the entire time. I started seeing a concussion specialist about three weeks after my accident. My current level of activity is approved by him,and encouraged. I feel so much better on the bike! The blood flow also seems to improve my symptoms at this point.

I haven't seen a neurophthalmologist yet though... but am seeing a neuropsych for a baseline test soon mostly for the legal case. I'm lucky enough to have a good lawyer taking care of that confusing mess!
