Hello Madam,
it seems that your husband had a cerebral stroke which affected his eye sight, few weeks back followed by - unable to drive or work for 6 weeks. Now he has almost recovered from the ill effects of stroke?
Continue all the tabs given for stroke and for the etiology of stroke like DM, HT or IHD. Ask him to lead a tension free life. Follow diet and medicines as per Dr's advise.
Yesterday your husband knoked and injured his leg, which part of leg?. Now it is swollen.
Whereever may be in the leg an X-ray is a must. Till then ask him not to move that part, improvise with whatevr material available, and keep the foot elevated. All these measure to avoid compilications if he has a fracture.
Give some Pain killer (OTC) till you meet the Dr.
Best wishes.
