My name is
Tommy. Bremerton, WA. TBI Spring
'98 No driving
for about a year in part to seizure concerns. Last spring they
showed up seriously. No drive. September
I drove for part of a day before they again showed up. Meds
increased. I am
finally accepting I do have epilepsy. That is one reason I am
looking for groups like this. In my
case, not driving is my biggest concern I guess-and expense of
treatment. I do my
best to live independently post-bonk. Not driving makes it more
important to plan, and planning is something I "don't do"
post-bonk.
I love the
Puget Sound region however. :)
Though not
central Washington, I hope that I may find a place here?
