I hope you are doing well in your recovery.

My SO had a crash last summer. We were doing a night ride (headlights, etc) in a rural area when a huge raccoon ran out of a ditch right into the back wheel of his bike. It knocked the bike right out from underneath him. He was going about 12mph. He went straight down and hit his head (helmeted) on the white line or gravel. He was out for just a few minutes. Ambulance ride to ER, etc. Grade 3 concussion and small brain hemmorage (sp?). Nothing broken, big bruises on hip and shoulder.

The first week he mostly slept. It was July and the heat really got to him. He didn't have any headaches or vision problems. He doesn't remember much of the accident. He didn't drive much for the first month and it was a couple of months til he was riding regularly. Between then and now he has made steady progress. He says he thinks he forgets some things (but he has no problem remembering trig identities!). He is mostly affected by fatigue, but that has been getting better.

Doctors he has seen told him 6 mos to 1 yr for full recovery.
