I just wanted to add that I'm no expert! Maybe people do recover enough to feel comfortable going back to playing a sport like hockey. It's just something I'd personally avoid because losing cognitive abilities scared me, and I don't want to go back to feeling like that if I can avoid it, so the risk wouldn't be worth it to me!

Slapshot,

I got a my first serious concussion back in June of 2012 and during the beginning of my PCS I thought this feeling would eventually go away.... Boy I was wrong, I continued to go about my regular routines but didn't focus on resting my first few months of PCS.

Rest is key for you right now. No hockey, no extensive workouts (light exercise is fine, I do Tai Chi), nothing stressful etc.. I haven't played hockey for 9 months but skated one time and it felt great!

Will I ever play as hard again? Eventually I will, but my brain is much more important than hockey right now. I probably won't be as aggressive I used to be playing in men's leagues...

I can tell you these past 4 months I've felt alot better just focusing on resting, no stressful situations, light exercise (Tai Chi), Chiro, and eating healthier.
