Hey! I'm actually in a really similarly situation. In July I was hit head on by a drunk driver and spent about a week in the hospital with lots of broken bones followed by weeks of rehab. I took the September 2017 LSAT, so I lost about three weeks of studying. I had a really bad concussion and my doctor actually recommended me taking a semester off of college as well as pushing the LSATs back. But I was super determined (and maybe I'm a little crazy) and decided to push though anyway. I didn't do as well as I had originally wanted to do, but I expected that. I wrote an addendum and I'm hoping that will help the admissions understand where I'm coming from. I didn't want to have to go to law school later than I had planned so I lowered my sights a little bit. This is probably not the best advice and if you think waiting will make a significant difference in where you go, then don't take it in September. If you don't think it'll make that big of a difference, I would push through. Reading gives me massive headaches so I would study for a few hours and then lay in bed in the pitch black until it went away. Good luck and I'm sorry this happened to you! I Know first hand how miserable it can all be. I was in the middle of studying so I felt if I just gave up I would have lost months of work.if you haven't started studying yet, maybe pushing it off isn't the worst thing
