Hey Sam,
Sorry to hear about both your seizure and job. It's extremely tuff, we all know that. Keep in touch with us about how things are going for you.
Does your Dr. Know you had the seizure? Did he tell you not to drive or did your Dr. Say it OK to to drive? You made a good decision to stop driving.
I ask that because if your Dr. tells you not to drive, and you do. And you happen to have an accident where a person dies, you would be charged with murder. Every so often I read about people with epilepsy in prison for getting in an accident when a person is killed.
I couldn't drive from 1988-2008 because my seizures weren't under control.

I have a drivers license because I never told the govt about the seizures for over 20 ys. I have been working only 1 week and have been feeling uncomfortable about the risks on others if I drive again. And so they had to release me because the grocery shopping was a major part of the position and there was no one else. Now honesty has reduced the risk to other drivers but badly hurt this home where they have been trying to replace this position for over a month as the present chef is moving on to other work and had only stayed to help out until they found a replacement that could do both jobs.
