Welcome to NT.
What you describe doesn't sound to me like "normal aging". The deficits you are experiencing could be related to your prior injury, or it could be something else. When did these latest symptoms become problematic?
To rule out the "something else" which could possibly include a mini-stroke or clot (which may or may not be related to your prior injury), I'd see a neurologist or/and a clinical neuropsychologist for a thorough professional evaluation.

What Happened: On November 29, 2010, I was walking across the street and was hit by a light rail commuter train. Result was a severe traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures (skull, pelvis, ribs). Total hospital stay was two months, one in ICU followed by an additional month in neuro-rehab. Upon hospital discharge, neurological testing revealed deficits in short term memory, executive functioning, and spatial recognition.
Today: Neuropsychological examination five months post-accident indicated a return to normal cognitive functioning, and I returned to work approximately 6 months after the accident. I am grateful to be alive and am looking forward to enjoying the rest of my life.
