Scary details emerge about Johnny Giavotella's fourth nerve palsy diagnosis

The OC Register's Pedro Moura has a good piece up this afternoon about the "full panic mode" that Johnny Giavotella was in as he awoke one day to find he had double vision. Giavotella, of course, had been mysteriously put on the DL August 25, and we only got word yesterday as to what put him out of commission. It turned out he had a problem with a muscle in his eye, also known as fourth nerve palsy. On the morning of August 21, Giavotella woke up and noticed that when looking left, he had double vision.
