This paragraph needs to be brought to your doctors attention, do not leave the office until your Alzheimers risk is reduced to 0% from the stroke. Replace the word concussion with stroke/TBI.
I'm sure your doctor doesn't know about your 33% chance of developing Dementia/Alzheimers after a stroke.

Who is going to develop Alzheimer’s among the concussion(stroke)
population? The APOE gene may hold the answer. Depending on which variant of
the gene you have, you may be more or less at risk for long-term brain
degeneration. In the future, perhaps people with a particular (higher risk)
variant would be advised not to play contact sports.
