Sparklebright63

Hi to all,

I have been getting Blurred Vision everyday thought it was my eyesight in my Left Eye and Jaw pain

Been to doctors was in ED Last night for 5.and a half hours eye hosp today.

Been told I have been reffered to stroke unit so waiting for an appointment to come through.

I thought you were kept in hospital for a stroke.

So what do I do about crossing the road if my vision is blurry I won't beable to see crossing the road.

Hi @Sparklebright63 sorry to read about your stroke
I hope the appointment comes through quickly for you. Maybe avoid crossing roads on your own for a bit.

Hi Woodbine,

No not since I've had these problems but I did have a ct scan a month ago which they said were fine when I went today.

What did they do when you go to stroke clinic?

I always seem to be at the hospital with 1 thing or another I cannot win.

Bless you @Sparklebright63 you do seem to be going through the mill a bit.
My eldest sister had a big stroke 10 years ago now, luckily it didn't affect her body, but unfortunately it did affect her brain, she has had some TIA's since.
Hopefully you will get your appointment through soon, the stroke clinic were very good with my sister, sorted out meds she has to be on for life and have past her care on to the Doctors now. One of her TIA did affect her vision and she was under the eye hospital for a year, they had to tweak her blood pressure tablets but her sight did come back properly, so just a waiting game for the clinic now, i'm sure they will sort you out. Just remember you have to take extra care now as your vision is affected. I take it you don't drive a car. x

I can imagine it must be disconcerting @Sparklebright63, I'm sorry to hear, and I hope you get an appointment with the stroke unit soon! As others have mentioned, make sure you look after yourself and get plenty of rest if you can

Do you have someone who can be with you if you do need to cross the road?

SueHeath

Bless @Sparklebright63 i'm sorry i didn't realise about your vision in your other eye, that would make it a lot more difficult for you, fingers crossed you get your appointment ASP x
