    Ugh, I hate concussions. You spend the first day thinking, "this ain't so bad" and then that sea sick feeling hits you on day 2. Hopefully yours isn't too bad. I had two bad ones both times being rear ended in my car. My horse one wasn't bad at all. My car ones lasted a good 4 or 5 days. If you don't feel queasy the next few days, yours was probably minor and you'll be good to go in a week. Otherwise, just give it a little more time. Welcome to the concussion club!

    Oh man, this has been almost 2 weeks of not feeling 100%. I feel much better now, but I'm so dang tired all the time!

    FYI...Since there seem to be a lot of people from BC on here...Greenhawks does take helmets back after a fall, and you get a new one for $15. Not a bad deal. This might only be for the Troxel helmets, however.

    Sorry for not answering earlier. Believe me, I am so happy I had a helmet on. I am grateful for that every day.
