Hi,

I just wanted to report back that I did get over the concussion. It took a solid 5-6 months to come out of it and feel like myself again. I remember feeling like I was in a "bubble" sitting at Thanksgiving dinner watching people talking and wondering if I'd ever come out of it. I guess I was determined.

Some tips to give back:

Forced myself to walk ten minutes everyday
Ate a lot of brain foods (especially avocados and olive oil)
Got tons of extra rest and drank water like it was going out of style
Kept up with my meditation and stretching
Did eye exercises and balance exercises (both from YouTube and ones that I was given after a formal "concussion test" at the hospital)
Took stretch/eye breaks at work as prescribed by my neurologist

I just felt the need to write this. I can't imagine anyone trying to go through a concussion now, during the pandemic especially. I know it can be very depressing and create a lot of anxiety.

Hope this helps!
