When I had my left side out, people said I looked like a stroke victim. My left side of my face was droopy and took a long time to look normal. I only found out after having the right side out that my heart stopped twice on the operating table the first time! So for me it was probably like a mini stroke.
My labs, too, were so called 'normal' but I was suffering terribly as the right side tried to take over the job of the left. Really the docs idea of normal and ours are two different things!
Get your lab work test results and the reference range and we'll let you know if you are 'normal' or not!
Cheers
