I hit my head on the diving board a few months ago I got a cussion and I feel fine now. But I don't know if I should go back. What do you think? I'm going towards yes because I love diving. Help me decide please?

Oh you so have to go back! I'm terribly sorry you got the concussion, but you can't let that keep you from pursuing a passion. Think of Greg Louganis. He hit his head on the platform DURING the olympics and was bleeding profusely and still climbed the ladder and made his next dive. When you are passionate about something, you can't let fear overwhelm you. Your first dive after the accident you will be cautious, but once you realize you have the ability and you feel that rush you used to feel when you would dive, your fears will wash away. So go for it! And I wanna see you in the next Olympics.......you hear me?? *wink*

Concussions Have Been Known To Affect You For As Little As 25 Minutes And At Most 7 Years. If You Feel Fine Then I Think You Should Go. Im Sorry That Happened. But If You Got It On Video Send It Into Americas Funniest Videos Get A Little Extra Cash ;)

sure why not...if you're really determined that is. but then again, you can wait a tiny bit longer, or just walk up to you're doctor and ask him the same question!i suppose i would just go ahead and dive, since i love swimming and diving too.
