Looking back, More realizes he never should have played just two days after suffering the first concussion. But he felt fine, and passed the league's mandatory neuro-psychological tests required of all players who've had concussions. It wasn't long into the game against Montreal before he knew things weren't right. One of the most frustrating things about trying to come back from a concussion is that there's no set time for recovery. It's not like a broken bone, sprained ligament or pulled muscle that have more definitive timetables.
Time is the biggest thing.
Just give it time and don't be impatient. Still, it's hard for More not to worry about what the future will bring. Concussions have become increasingly more frequent in the NHL in recent years. Anaheim superstar Paul Kariya missed nearly three months last year after a concussion, and players like Pat Lafontaine and Brett Lindros have had to cut short their careers due to multiple concussions. At least four Predators, including More, have suffered concussions this year.
