Hi,

to make it short: I'm exchange student from germany so sry for bad english
I'm in the US right now and got a concussion after heading a ball at the 10th of september. I did not pass out or anything like that but I got a headache immediately after the injury. I continued on training but went the day after to the doctor. It was just a mild concussion and I had to stay home for a week. Well I have to say, I didn't rest enough. I text a lot and 5 days after the injury I went to a sleep over and did a bit sport. I know how stupid this is but I felt pretty much alright. But then it got worser. I felt reaaly bad. Dizzy and really foggy. Not that much headache but I took a lot of headache medecine. It didn't get better I got really depressive and cried every day, then I was almost send back home of my organisation. I had never so much stress in my life. So I went to emergency one day, 1 month after the injury because i felt so much in a dream and they made all these scans of my brain and stuff like this but they couldn't see anything. So they told me i would have psc. I was really unhappy, because I just headed a ball but at least I was allowed to go to school again. Seeing all my friends made me happy and then I took a concussion test and I saw that my brain worked good again like it did before the concussion. So everything improved. I got rid of the headaches, the blurry vision i am myself again and haven't depression anymore. My only symptom left is that I feel like in a dream. not always. I'm in and out. If I think about it iI get in it. I'm really unhappy with it. I can concentrate and everything but I can't see the world as a whole. And I really want to make sports again! I feel so good I could run for an hour and could jump and everything and I'm thinking about to go to the basketball try outs next week. Sport in the US means erything to me. It's the best thing ever happend to me. And i REALLY want to try out for basketball. Before the injury I also tought about trying out but I'm really afraid now. The season is just three months but I feel really foggy and i'm afraid that if i would play now the symptoms would stay for my whole life. but on the other hand I don't want to spend my exchannge year at home at my host family. It's so depressing! What do you think! I feel so good beside the fog!
