Hi,
I did get my license back post left temporal surgery since
seizures changed from day only to when asleep only. I still
get these a couple of times a month, but much better this way.
Take care. Doris

The Sunday before that my aunt died, so I had to go to the funeral home the same day of the accident. The funeral was the next day, with a dinner following the burial. When I got home that afternoon (and this made me mad), I laid down on the couch to take a nap and had a seizure, therefore, I'm not supposed to drive for six months. On top of that, because of the accident at work, I'm not supposed to drive any motorized vehicle there either. Forgive my language, but I'm really pissed off about the whole thing. The past couple years have been a big rollercoaster for me, so I'm in counseling for it.

So, the heat is a factor, and I take a gallon thermos of water to work. Even then, I have had to refill it before the day is through. I get headaches if I don't keep myself well-hydrated.
