Hi Vinny,

If you haven't already, I would also look into doing some neuro-opthmalic rehabilitation, or vision therapy. There is a syndrome called "visual midline shift syndrome" that is extremely common in people with head injuries. Sounds like you have some spatial awareness problems, which is a classic symptom of this syndrome. I have this and a classic symptom I display is that I'm always tilting my body to one side, and I have to prop my head up with my arm when I'm sitting. With the use of yoked and prism glasses, you can retrain your brain (at least that is the idea). I begin my therapy next week. For anyone looking into this though, as with any medical practitioner you see, make sure they have experience in brain rehabilitation.
