Mark,
I ache for you! Some weeks are super cruddy and this one
sure was for you. Accept my condolence on your aunt's death. This
type of hard thing makes you ache. Time will be a help and I
hope the right time for you comes super soon. When I lived in
NJ, as a teenager, I had my first seizure which resulted in an
auto accident too. I lost my license and just took it as part
of things and did ok without it. I moved to Manhattan where
I could work and also did not need a car for transporation but
could not afford to do this long. So I moved nearby to a
spot in Bergen County, NJ from which I could take the bus to
GW and then a subway to get to office. About 6 years later,
I got married and have not worked a day since then. I had
many different interesting experiences which I know since you
go through this too, you would surely understand. Just want
you to know so many of us are all together. Wish we could
all meet for a cup of something! (kidding for sure!) 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.

Even then, I have had to refill it before the day is through. I get headaches if I don't keep myself well-hydrated.
