Sig,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Thank you for your sacrifice.

It sounds like you should be asking for some imaging to see if you have a further issues, such as behind your left eye. Sounds like you had quite an experience.

Regarding the Right and Left issue, I and others have had the same problem. It is most common during times of stress or a need to respond quickly. I will respond with the opposite but as soon as I hear what I said, I realize I said the wrong direction and correct myself.

Please feel free to unload and tell us about your struggles. Lots of good people here.

My best to you.
