Just curious about others experiences here.

I fell off a horse and was diagnosed with a moderate concussion. I don't remember the hour leading up to the fall or approximately 2 hours after the fall. The only exception to this is that I recall the sound my helmet made when it hit the ground. I remember thinking, "oh that was my skull" and then nothing again. (I did not lose consciousness or at least not for longer than a few seconds, its unclear, everyone else was getting their horse under control after my fall).

I've heard from many this is common and most people say those memories have never returned. In many ways, this is lucky, I don't need those memories.

However, having those memories would also make me more afraid to ride again, which given that I"m still having symptoms 15 weeks later, would be a good thing.

I have no association between riding horses and my fall at all. I've not been back riding, but I'm really starting to want to. I have to keep reminding myself that I can't go just yet.

Anyone else lose a chunk of time before or after or both after their concussion? How much time? Did anything ever start coming back? Lost forever?
