Thought I would give an update on my health as several people wrote to me in support when I reported I had suffered a stroke early November. 
The NHS has been brilliant since leaving hospital I was visited by Lymington Stroke team  almost every day to help me regain my balance. I've now been signed off as I can safely get out myself with a stick. 
My vision has improved but still see partial double vision so can't drive.
In May I have an appointment to see about the Acoustic Neuroma which an MRI scan showed up, a slow growing and benign growth so no hurry to do anything about it.
