I noticed light hurt my eyes as soon as I left church on Sunday. By the time I had the second stroke, I could barely stand to keep my eyes open. It’s better, but still a problem. I walked to the mailbox today…the farthest I’ve gone. It was like daggers in my head to be out in the light. My neighbor commented on my weird blinking 
While outside I have to keep closing my eyes because light just plain hurts too much. I finally looked it up just now. It’s not my imagination….it’s an after effect of strokes.
I’m also having trouble with comprehension and short term memory. It’s weird, because I can think about the past pretty well, but struggle big time with the here and now and what JUST happened. My follow-through doing stuff sucks. I remember hours later what I had meant to do.
I used to listen to 2 to 6 scripture discussions each day on BYU TV on the computer. I’ve been listening to a few each day and retaining very little. Last night I got to almost the end of the program before I realized I had watched it the day before. FRUSTRATING! I keep trying to convince myself I am fine, but I’m not quite fine
I am nothing if not impatient. My face stopped being numb, so I expect the rest of me to follow suit. WRONG! I can also tell the difference between my usual myasthenia gravis weakness and the new weakness after the strokes. The MG weakness somewhat improves when I take Mestinon, this stuff doesn’t.
I have a lot to learn about how to deal with all this. I’m trying to be patient
