Hi Susan
You have no reason at all to be ashamed, nor because you can not think quite as quickly nor long as you use
to. Hey girl for one thing we are all getting one day older each day than use to, everyone does.
When you get down on yourself because you can not drive, stick your head up high and say to yourself ah ha I
can at least walk to that bus stop or get a ride from my friend maybe helping a little to pay for the gas.
What is everyone telling us to do these days....save the environment and walk or get together and drive in
groups. Should someone ask you, stick your chin up high and let them know. If you can't say 'because I have
epilepsy' then tell them otherwise. Lots of people walk these days.
Oh and hey....just because we can not think or concentrate as long as use to, the by no means mean we are
slow. We are actually more smarter than a lot of other people out there, just the words are sometimes on the
tip of our tongue and don't get out when suppose to.
So my friend, be brave and hold your head high. There is a bright light at the end of the rainbow. Keep
smiling.
(((Hugs)))

For some reason....I feel ashamed, mostly because I can't drive, think as quickly or concentrate as long. I am
thankful that I am not on disability yet.

I wish you both the very best. I've had epilepsy for 30 years and I've
been through a lot as well. I had brain surgery done 6 years ago and it did
not work and that is very frustrating but there is nothing that I can do.
I'm trying to enjoy each and everyday. Someday, I know there will be a
cure but there needs to be more research done on this condition. At least it
is not hidden anymore like it was years ago.
