Glad you are doing much better. My experience is not exactly as you describe, but after a year since my accident I still occasionally experience vertigo after looking up to change a light bulb, adjust a wall photo or whatever, or if I stand up too fast. For me it goes away pretty quickly so I just try to be careful in my daily activities and have learned to live with it.

What Happened: On November 29, 2010, I was walking across the street and was hit by a light rail commuter train. Result was a severe traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures (skull, pelvis, ribs). Total hospital stay was two months, one in ICU followed by an additional month in neuro-rehab. Upon hospital discharge, neurological testing revealed deficits in short term memory, executive functioning, and spatial recognition.
Today: Neuropsychological examination five months post-accident indicated a return to normal cognitive functioning, and I returned to work approximately 6 months after the accident. I am grateful to be alive and am looking forward to enjoying the rest of my life.
