Cleared.....NOT!!!!!

On Friday I had a follow up doctors appt at Health Services. I thought for sure i was going to be getting cleared, seeing as i havent had symptoms in about two weeks. So as usual i went in at my appt time, got my blood pressure, heart rate, temp and eye check done. All the ladies know me there, seeing as i have been in and out of there so much since the beginning of last year. They looked right at me and said Cassie and back i went, after getting all my vitals done, i then had to sit back out in the waiting room as usual. Then the doctor came out and got me. He is so nice and was sure to make small talk with me. We got to the room and he went through all of his notes from my appt last week. He asked me if i have had any more symptoms, and i said no, and he made me do all of the concussion tests. I passed everything as usual for the past couple weeks and then we sat down and he started to talk about what he wanted to do. I was getting nervous when he kept pondering about what he should do, all i want to do is play hockey and its so hard when im not allowed out on the ice. He wont even let me practice, because hes afraid that im going to slip and fall and hit my head, but i have been playing hockey since i was 3, once your a hockey player you normally dont just slip and fall, you usually have to have someone contact you to fall over or go past your limit on something. And if i did fall i know to keep my head up, thats one thing that you learn when you are just starting out at hockey. He then told me that he doesnt want me on the ice still until the 13th, if that. I was devestated and of course cried my way back to my dorm. So here i am just hanging out trying my best to get better, and trying to stay in shape, but its just not the same.
