Yes, I will continue with the try outs. it's fun it makes me really happy to do sports again. I'm also feeling symptom free. so better then yesterday after practice. I have decided to talk to my coach and ask him if I could skip all the games and just participate in training.

Actually, you are likely already at a prolonged condition where you need to be cautious about "going out to bars with friends, dancing, going to concerts, listening to loud music," because your never will achieve a "healthy, fully recovered brain." When you participate in these activities, you will likely find that you brain fatigues more quickly than your friends. Each time your brain suffers another concussion, your brain is left with a greater tendency to fatigue. Very few regain an ability to fully tolerate these intense levels of sensory stress.

As post concussion said, take it a bit easier so you can enjoy your entire time here. Going home early and feeling miserable at home is double the disappointment. Enjoy your visit. We (the USA) has more to offer than high school sports teams.

My best to you.

I think the most important thing is for a young person to be hopeful. I know some people with bad MTBIs who 20 years on are fine in most ways (maybe a few anger issues from time to time!). Lots of others I know have had bad concussions and luckily have no huge deficits so far. I tell them to be careful! But so far so good for them. I didn't get lucky.

None of us know where we will end up. Neuroplasticity is an amazing thing, as is the power of positive thinking.

I am way better than I was 6 months ago, and 12 months ago, but not as good as I want to be! I will dance again....perhaps not as well, or with as much spinning as before! I feel my brain is forever changed (The doctors agree) and that is extremely difficult to accept. I balance hope and positive thinking with realism and acceptance. I think the scales should tip in favour of the former! That is how I try to live each day.
Thanks to everyone who contributes such great info. It has been very helpful.
