Concussions are serious business
Yessir.

In my wild rugby days, back when concussions were not serious business , I played through several concussions, including games where I was whacked so hard, I couldn't remember which position I was playing. Heaven only knows what permanent damage I was courting.

By way of contrast, my young son has already taken two rides in the big red bus, once when he was five and a second time when he was ten, because of what turned out to be mild concussions. We kept him out of contact sports for a full year after the second one.

No laughing matter. I sincerely hope you recover fully and soon.
