Actually, at this point, I have PCS. (Post Concussion Syndrome) Yesterday I watched a medical dr describe what impact it takes to get an actual concussion. Because of my brain injury, I don’t always take in and comprehend everything correctly. I thought I understood the doctor, but I guess I am wrong.

Here is the url I watched, to see what force it takes. Again, I did not know you could get a concussion just through what the child did. I sorry I misunderstood what the concussion doctor said: https://search.yahoo.com/search?p=how+much+force+needed+for+a+concussion&fr=iphone&.tsrc=apple
