Thread Name: BS: I had a stroke
Subject: BS: I had a stroke
Actually, it happened over a year ago, so sympathy isn't necessary (but won't go unappreciated), but I have a question that maybe someone can answer.

The vision in my right eye became blurry and my eye doctor found that my right optic nerve was swollen. So I went in for all kinds of tests and no reason was found. Then, it wasn't swollen, but the vision hasn't improved, so the final verdict was that I had a stroke, just a really, really minor one. This decision was reached last week, over a year after it happened.

My question is, has anyone else here ever had a stroke, and did you end up with a droopy eye, and can anything be done about it, besides wearing dark glasses? I'm not particularly handsome, but this half-closed eye is not improving my looks, and people keep asking me what's wrong with my eye, so I guess it's pretty noticeable.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Steve
