Question 1

How have you been since coming home Peter?

I’m doing most things okay but I am finding reading really hard.

Question 2

Is it just reading that is difficult or are you finding your vision has deteriorated generally

I think it is only my reading, but maybe it is more, I’m not really sure.

Question 3

Did you have difficulty reading before your stroke?

Answer

No

Question 4

Have you had your eyes tested recently?

Answer

I had them tested last week and I don’t need new glasses.

Question 5

Do you see double at all?

Answer

No I have never had that problem I just seem to have difficulty focusing on words when I am reading and at times lose my place. I’m reading slower than before. I don’t seem to have any difficulty watching TV unless I have to read something on the screen.

Question 6

Do you ever bump into things when you are walking around or knock things over?

Answer

No, I find my way around okay and don’t bump things. I can’t think of any time I have knocked anything over either.
