Not being able to drive sucks. I've lost my licence twice. Once because I had a seizure - but that was only for 4 months, just the time it took to get all of the neurological tests done and the paperwork filed.

I just got my licence back in Dec. after the second suspension. It was medically suspended after I was Dx'd alcohol dependent which really pissed me off cause I've never had a DUI. I had to get blood tests every two weeks to prove I was abstinant from alcohol. I did get my licence back after I proved I was abstinant for 6 months but a screw up with the paperwork at the ministry delayed it by another 2 months. Now I have to keep getting the blood tests every two weeks to prove continued abstinance and I have to get a letter from my addictions Dr. saying that I'm still sober after a year, and a letter from my pdoc saying that I'm emotionally and mentally stable. It really pisses me off. There are thousands of people driving around with dementia or lousy eyesight because their dr's are too chicken to report them, and I'm jumping through massive hoops just to keep mine.

Good thing I live in a reasonable public transit area.
