What Causes Left Side Weakness, Floaters And Gray Vision In Eye?

hi, I had a right hemisphere stroke on May 17, I have left sided weakness still, floaters and a gray screen vision effect in my right eye. Ive undergone lots of blood work, 2 mri tests, and a LP, results so far show elevated ACE in the bloodwork, and elevated protein in the CSF. My next dr appt isnt for a couple weeks, and i am still waiting for more results. syphilis has been ruled out, but Im concerned about MS , Any other ideas, and should I be pushing for an earlier dr appt? the neuro is aware of the floaters
