Leslie, We are all different when it comes to our safety do to our epilepsy condition. For me The way my spine is bothering me as well It probably wouldn’t be safe to stay on my feet 24/7 I’ve looked on the Permobil website. That’s the company that brought Tilite a few years ago. Just the thought of something happening to me with me on foot all the time scares the hell out of me. Like loosing my balance and not able to walk . I’ve had that happen several times in the past. That right there has me considering a wheelchair ♿ over the seated walker or the other. A few have said don’t consider the wheelchair that it be the wrong thing to do in my situation. But a good number have also said to go with the wheelchair ♿ and I wouldn’t regret having it. I think it’s all in preference with the person on what they would prefer to use.

I'm not to sure on us state driving medical laws but where I am only a dr can do this. A Nurse practitioner can't. Even if they have all the information.

I don't miss driving from how severe my accidents were. My second had run in to a parking lot hitting a vehicle, not conscious of it happening. When I was being helped out of my car and the police told me of that happening scared me. I asked if there was any1 in the car and thankfully wasn't. I would of felt bad if hurting some1 due to that. I don't miss driving, so those that still can/do please be care full when driving.

I stopped driving more than 25 years ago when my seizures became more frequent and more severe. I am still legally allowed but with the advice of the neurologists that I'm seen and my will to not endanger myself or others, I just stopped.
Now I'm lucky enough to live and have always worked in a city with a great public transportation system but I couldn't imagine the struggle someone would face that needed to travel more.

I was disgnosed at 7, so knew I would never drive a car. Even if I could, I would not. My Learning Disability has to do with Spatial Orientation, among other things. I have no sense of direction. I live in Elderly Housing, so few people here drive. For those whose families have finally persuaded them to stop, it is hard.
