Off work two weeks, trying to rest. Go for short walks.
Becoming more and more dizzy. Dr says just rest. Job is in education so really worried about when the dizzy feeling and brain fog will lift especially as I am 60.
I know everyone is different, but any help welcome!
Do you gradually feel better or is there a definite turning point??

Take short term disability if you can, or use your sick days if you have enough of them. You need rest. Then if after a month or two you feel recovered, then go back to work. It is too risky at this time, in my opinion.
Brain injuries take time to heal. A concussion can take up to three or four years to return to some semblance of normalcy.
I was a teacher, and I pushed myself and the symptoms got worse. Of course, I was unaware early on that I had sustained a tbi.
Teaching with a tbi can be pure torture. I did it for over four years.
