I still have another week until I'm allowed to ride. My eyesight does appear to be improving from the original stroke. The doctor did say that it would continue to improve for a year after the event.
I used to put on weight over the winter with less riding and then ride it off up to June when my riding would suddenly improve. But at this point I am not doing the hill riding despite the repairs (finally) of the hill roads. There is a 25 mile route
I am developing more of a patiece around cars and this works OK for most drivers but there is a group (largely Asian women) who couldn't care less who is on the road other then themselves. They also tend to be driving expensive cars.

Sometimes balance issues are due to problems with the ears. That's
what my problem is.

Mine are not.
OT called yesterday and said that they won't bother to send a therapist
because the testing they already gave to me shows no cause they can treat.
At the moment I am somewhat curious if the present problem I have isn't something that I've had all along and was just too careful to notice. If
I look down or whatever I can lose my balance. But that has been that way since my concussion.So my "illness" was nothing more than dehydration and
I am back to normal if you can call this normal.

Rather sounds like CatTrike is correct, as the vestibular system which is
the largest and most important of the 3 balance systems. Is inner ear/brain/eye system.

Positional vertigo which is what your description fits is absolutely linked to one?s Vestibular system, for that you?d need a physio and one specialist is such things not a OT.
Depending on what and who can be managed with medication or some exercises, though some folks have vertigo just permanently.
It?s why I can?t use the underground or struggle in the dark as my
knackered vestibular system can?t make head or tail of what is moving or
not.

Vertigo is a permanent condition of feeling you surroundiungs feeling or seeming to move when they are not.
Mine is that I simply have no feeling of up and down and have to see a vertical reference. There is enough light references around my home so
that I can walk in the semidark. I can also touch walls or horizontal surfaces. There is a streetlight outside my home that shows somewhat
through the curtains so that I can see a reference there. I do not
otherwise feel any motion.
Sorry to hear your condition which can bring on sea sickness.
