Thank You all for giving me feedback. It is still very much a shock.
The tablets were unpleasant at first, but a week in are less so.
I am due to see the Stroke specialist in February so will know more about the damage suffered by then

Fortunately my employers are letting me work from home, which is tiring, but means I feel less disabled; and do not need to worry about the money side of things.

The recumbent Trikes look fun, though I do wonder how well they would go up hill. I live near Malvern and love climbing the British Camp and the Wyche Cutting. Certainly an option though. I might even be able to keep with my Brother on the descents with one.

Yesterday, I learned that I have probably suffered a stroke.
An Ataxia that has spoiled my balance.
I was advised not to cycle as I now have problems starting and stopping. I have also been told not to drive for 30 days. I need a MRI scan to confirm the diagnosis as the CT scan showed no bad signs.

I have started on Tablets to thin my blood and to reduce my cholesterol which is now high. It was OK when I was previously tested.

I am a Cyclist, Gardener, and Dog walker who thought he was fit until my balance went suddenly 2 week's ago.

Am I likely to regain my balance in time, or should I be considering a Tricycle?

What are my best options please?
