New study finds concussion recovery = 100 days.

With no school or online activity, recovery = 20 days.

Damn if I would have known that I would have claimed concussion to get out of class when I was in school.

It was a new study they announced this morning on the "Today Show".

Wonder when we start hearing of high school football players being deemed to have a consussion after a friday night game, rest all weekend, miss class all week (practice may be OK as it may get better blood flow which helps the brain), then play the next Friday?

It sounds like complete rest,with no computer games, internet or school for 5 days, followed by limited computer use for 2 weeks will make for a quick recovery.
