Kate,
I agree, thank goodness you know what's happening. Be very cautious wth your head now. There are simple things I took for granted before that could hurt me now.
Be cautious on grass, in the dark (can't do dark now), what's around your feet when you get up, little kids around you... These are all tripping hazards that can lead to a head injury. Even a small womp on the head can cause side effects.
Peace and wellness,
Jace
