Default I've done it again..

.this time real bad.
Took a hard hit to the head on monday 23dec.
Tuesday, very dizzy at times which had diminished prior.
Wednesday, Christmas, fatigued, nauseous and that dazed feeling. Same yesterday.

I'm 3.5 weeks into a 5 week break from work hoping to beat this PCS. Forget that I guess.

Very disappointed with myself for being careless. I'm my own worst enemy and it's so frustrating.
Have now hit my head at least 6 or 7 times since my concussion (28aug13), mostly minor until now. That's equal to the amount in the last 25 or 30 years years combined.
This latest accident on monday I reached for an item on a rack up against a mirrored wall and smashed my head hard on the mirror.

I'm not that clumsy. I'm thinking that these accidents could be the result of the original concussion. I've told doctors that I've experienced what I call visual processing problems since the 28aug accident. I've bumped into things at work, cannot "read greens" golfing, etc.

Any ideas on how to deal with this embarrassing problem? It's almost like I have to be on constant alert to any potential dangers because my regular defenses are not working properly.
Am I the only idiot out there doing this?

Should I go get this latest accident checked out? My gut says no but I've read that another concussion before the original has healed is very dangerous.

Happy days and thanks.
-----------------------
My symptoms since the accident on 28aug13 have been dizziness, nausea and head issues (pressure,ache,tingling). The last two months the dizziness has subsided and been replaced with the dazed, foggy feeling.
These are not constant, mostly when stressed or active.
