His hockey season was over as of last week (his team got bumped out, first week of playoffs) and won't start again until October.
He is doing quite well overall but like I've said it's hard to tell with young men, they try to be tough. Thanks Alex V for that comment, you're so right! Got his vision checked (it was fine according to the optometrist) and after much pleading, got him referred to the vision therapist to test for convergence insufficiency, which is a phrase I'd never heard of until finding this forum! If he does have trouble with his vision (which I suspect) then we'll cross the bridge of making sports decisions for fall.

About it: October 26, 2012 I fell backward on an icy parking lot at work. I was on Workers Comp for 9 months. My PCS : everyday headaches became once in a while headaches, and neck pain became manageable. Still have occasional mild dizziness, sometimes fullness in the ears, convergence insufficiency, sequencing struggles, short term memory struggles, verbal processing delays. CT neg, MRI neg. Therapies: prism glasses, acupuncture, icing neck, resting, supplementing, Elavil 20mg at bedtime. NEW: Completed 12 weeks of physical therapy and returned to work full time. About me: I'm a marketing manager, a mom with a blended family and wife to a heart attack survivor. I believe my brain injury taught me more than it cost me. I'm grateful to still be me! |
