I did mull over this,Dan. I'm telling you that the explanation you provided doesn't pass the common-sense meter. Not for me, and I did go to medical school AND a career of work as a military doctor, where we learned by experience,about TBI.It's great having good friends that want to help Sandra has already offered to hit me in the head, several times if needed.
As to the $200, isn't it amazing how I can't remember anything about this ? Guess you will just have to hang on until I remember it

I would love it if you would mull over the long post I just made to Charpai....with all of the "post concussion chemical aspects" I am bringing up as an alternative to the knee-jerk reaction of automatically assuming this is a chronic condition....and not to forget, there is only small evidence that a concussion occurred.... I experienced no concussion symptoms of any kind after my bike crash... only the crystals getting knocked out of the proper position in the middle ear....Maybe it was a mild concussion, with very mild chemical alterations that exaggerated the effects of a ketosis producing breakfast many hours preceding the dive..and the effects of high aerobic workload at depth, high CO2 levels at depth....low blood sugar for brain fuel....etc.

There are symptoms of TBI that don't occur immediately. You can feel pretty good after TBI and still have symptoms months/years later.
I've experienced a mild concussion myself, even had about 12 hours of TGA, but my TGA immediately followed the event.
The VA is finding more and more issues related to TBI everyday. Even things like word-finding problems and attention deficit disorders happening sometimes years after the original injury.
We haven't heard from Dan in a bit. Anyone know the latest?
