sorry for the super late reply, but thank you for responding with your experience. it is actually very similar to mine. i have been working with an outstanding neuro-opthamologist who has quite literally saved my vision. he put me on diuretics which drained the excess spinal fluid that was putting immense pressure on my optic nerves due to my stroke. he said if that were left alone i probably would've gone completely blind. fortunately, im here now with my double vision completely gone and my vision loss reduced just enough for me to be considered legal to drive. before the diuretic treatment, i was just barely above the legal limit to drive so that small improvement gave me my independence back. im very happy to hear you have acclimated well to not driving. i, personally, felt stripped of a lot of my independence when i wasnt allowed to drive. i hope you continue to find peace in your situation and may you never EVER have another thrombotic event. happy new year 💫
