You did not mention why templral artery biopsy was taken. After temporal artery biopsy again that parrt of artery will not grow.but this is not a concern as the collateral artery devolop and restore normal circation . Numbnee and blurred vision ln right side may be due to some other cause.better take opthalmologist opinion as in few percent of cases temporal arteritis has involvement eye will be there. Better to avoid driving till the biopsy report and neurologist and opthalmologist consultation
