Re: How many concussions have you had?

I had 1 when I was 3. Cracked my skull open,fell off my dads tractor and hit my head on a rock and I had a blood clot and they had to remove the clot. Also have a plate and clips when they put the skull back together. I have a nasty scar on the side of my head. I shave my head now and its right there and everyone asks what happen

Re: How many concussions have you had?

I started thinking about this subject when I heard Terry Bradshaw talking about having signs of dementia. Forgetting things, etc. I had my fair share of concussions and I often wonder if they have affected me in some way. Once in a while, I will be talking to someone and then I forget what we are talking about. Sometimes it happens mid sentence. Its not frequent, but it does embarrass me a little. I usually just start laughing about it.
Does anyone else ever wonder if concussions are making you forget stuff?

Had a few including a time when i was 12 catching catfish in a stream. These other kids where throwing big rocks off a bridge. One clocked me in the back of the head. Fell into the water and my buddy went in and got me.

Another time traveling about 35 mph on the back of a moped and we crashed into a parked car. went sailing through the rear window of the vehicle. my buddy got really tangled in the moped and busted both legs

Re: How many concussions have you had?

I've had way more than they make football players retire for. Racing atv's the first half of my life has been hard on my head and my memories. I can't remember most of my life unless it was extremely tramatic. My short term memory is fine but long term is gone. And I know thats what it's from. It's pretty sad when your already forgeting things that you've done with your kids just a few years ago. Pictures help me remember alot of things so that's nice. Not sure whats in store for me as I get older. Hope it doesn't get much worse.

I had more than I can remember but the last one effected me the most. I had post concussion syndrome for 2 years after the fact. I still haven't healed 100%

Ive never been hit in the head to know if a serious hit would affect me differently with this plate in my head.

Several.
I think a flat, full body-weight onto garage cement was the worst. or riding passenger with a friend in 10th grade. Christmans vacation. We hit an Oak tree at "approximately 70-80mph"(trooper's statement). Both of those dusted my clock pretty well.
