I am sorry about your medical problems. And being housebound has got to be driving you crazy!!

Were you recently diagnosed with your seizure disorder? My daughter was diagnosed with complex partial seizures as a preteen. She could not drive until her seizures were well controlled with medication.

She received her license when she was 17 1/2. Her one restriction though, was that she needed to carry a medical card. The card needs to be renewed every 6 months and that requires an exam by her neurologist .......we've become like family.

Anyway.......until you may be able to drive again.....is there public transportation in your area? Or do you have access to something in our area called "dial a ride"? With this service your are able call and arrange transportation through a county run program, more in the rural areas I think.

I hope you can get your seizures controlled quickly and that you can become independant once again!!!! Meanwhile........don't be afraid to ask for help...I am sure you will be able to repay favor one day!
