Robbored Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Thanks to all for these kind comments. Truth is the consequences could have been far more severe, I've been lucky that the stroke occurred in my occipital lobe at the back of my brain and the only symptom is disturbed vision. I have no left sided peripheral vision which means I cannot drive. Living out in the sticks means that's a real bummer. Problem getting to AG as well. Mrs Robbo has been an angel, driving me to various appointments without a second thought. She's my rock although I seriously doubt that she'll be willing to drop me off at AG and then pick me up! I've been prescribed statins, blood pressure tabs along with aspirin and been told not to drink more than 2units of alcohol daily. I've also been told that it will be at least 4 weeks before I'm likely to see any improvement,if at all. It takes that long for any swelling to go subside according to the medics. The care I received in both the eye hospital and the BRI has been excellent as wel. Apparently it's crucial for the source of the clot to be discovered and the most likely is the carotid arteries or the old ticker. my jugulars are fine so the next investigation is on my heart. I have to wear a monitor for 72 hours. It'll be a while before that happens tho. Despite not being able to drive I consider myself a lucky bloke.

GrahamC Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 I believe Alan lives Nailsea way? Surely there must be someone on here who lives that way and could give him a lift to AG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 An OTIB stalwart never afraid to put his head above the parapet. By all accounts a good bloke away from OTIB, and obviously a massive Bristol City fan. Though most of us don't know each other what we all have in common far outweighs the little spats that occasionally divide us on here. All the best Robbo, get well soon.
