Helmet Advised

I learned something new today about concussions. If you have suffered one, you should not have any screen time- no television, computers, texting on cell phones or the use of other electronic devices. I guess using electronics requires your eyes to do too much tracking and that impedes recovery. I learned this because one of my students suffered a concussion this weekend so she couldn't work on her African web site. We compromised by having her turn her chair away from the computer and she told me what to type. From now on I am wearing a helmet every day. I do not want to risk a concussion and be without my screen time! What would do? Coincidentally, the picture below is of the skin I have on my personal laptop. I think it is apropos for this post:
