Default Suffering PCS problems 2 months in now!!

Hello Everyone!
On Feb. 24 2010 while at work at a trucking company I was hit in the head by 359 lb Nitrogen bottle That fell from atop another skid. The blow was quick violent, hitting me in the forehead sending me to the ground immediately. 4 things happened instantly I saw a kaleidoscope of colors, my vision became blurry, and I felt like my hearing changed as to like being in a tunnel, and my had trouble walking. The hit left me with a coaster size contusion on my forehead. Over several days I had Catscans, MRI, and a visit with a eye doctor, all coming back Normal. the first 2 weeks I was in a daze with no emotion and feeling foggy and like I was in a Tunnel. Returned to work on the 2nd week doing menial paper filing for an hour or 2 for worker comp satisfaction. after the 2nd week I was out of the fogginess for the most part but was suffering severe dizzyness, ringing in my ears and balance issues as well as short term memory recall. during my 4th week I was able to start sweeping floors Trailers around the dock. All the movement around the dock along with constant bending would trigger severe dizzy spells and would usually leave after 1 hour. In my 5th week I seemed to had made big strides as my spells were less frequent and lasted only seconds. My doctor said she still wanted me to see a Neurologist anyway. 2 days before the Neurologist appt. I was on my lawn tractor mowing around my flower garden when all of a sudden the earth was spinning and I almost fell off my tractor, I got nauseated and got an instant headache along with this episode. The Neurologist scheduled a EEG and during the EEG I had another Episode in which the Doctor was called in to help. She scheduled an 72 Ambulatory EEG to which I am waiting to receive results in the next day or two. She seems to think that I may be having seizures, does anyone on here know about these?? I am a Truck Driver and know if I am having seizres I will not be allowed to drive. During this whole time I have periods of isolation and once had an episode at home where I didn't know where I was!! The constant theme has been Dizzyness, Ringing in my ears and Foggy feeling. Looking for some answers from fellow sufferers.
