Re: Concussion Advice

I got a concussion about 2 years ago. I have no memory for about 5-6 hours. A couple before and after the event. For a little while after I had no memory of the previous two weeks. Stay off your phone and computer as much as you can. One thing I read online was that omega 3 could help brain health overall. Who knows if it's actually true, but really omega 3 has real health benefits. So I picked up a bottle of fish oil pills. They are cheap, what could it hurt?

I started doing cardio after a 8 days. I was back to feeling 100% after about 7. I can't comprehend how NFL players are back playing football so soon. I was lucky that it didn't linger for a month. I did go alcohol free the entire month after though.

Also, RIP to your wallet. I think my trip to the ER cost about $3600 total. Luckily I had decent insurance. I broke my nose too which I didn't noticed until it was too late. It's still off center, but not enough to affect my breathing or make it worth re-breaking to correct and fix.
