“I had a lot of different stuff. I had dizziness and a lot of headaches during the day. I was sleeping 16-18 hours a day and, when I tried to do some light workouts, I ended up getting real sick and I’d be in bed for four days.

Keith Ballard of of the Vancouver Canucks on dealing with a concussion. More concussion talk (Daniel Sedin) from Elliott Pap of the Vancouver Sun.
