By Denise Pope, PhD
This summer was a challenging one for me. I got a virus at the end of June that caused me to pass out and hit my head on the bathroom floor – and in addition to a big bump over my right eye – that fall also gave me a concussion. I have been dealing with fatigue, dizziness, and other common concussion symptoms for over two months now. I spent much of my summer consulting with a variety of doctors who often provided conflicting advice. It is amazing to me how much we still don’t know about the human brain and how it heals. However, one recommendation from a physical therapist who specializes in brain recovery resonated with me and reminded me of advice we give regularly to students, parents, and educators who partner with Challenge Success.
