Don't worry about not being able to drive! I had seizures in cars and nearly killed myself so many times... I had to hang it up.

Oh yes!!! I’ve been through this for years. Couldn’t drive for years then things got better until the last month seizures are back to back so I know I can’t drive ugh
I’m Mississippi after one seizure you can’t drive until a year after well when I’m in status I can’t drive for years! So frustrating!!!!!
And what gets me now the family is like handicapping me again I know they mean well. But they be like don’t do this don’t do that
I mean simple things and I understand but it touches your independence
I’m independent.
It’s really something
