Guest kdenardo Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I am a bit ashamed but "I GOT MY DRIVER'S LICENSE BACK!!!!!" I am so sorry, but it seems like forever since I got to drive. I haven't had a seizure since February, and today doc said I could have them back. MADE hubby go to DMV and renew them. Haven't actually drove anywhere yet, but just that little plastic card in my wallet makes me feel soooo much better. I apologize to those that still are unable to drive, I just had to share this experience with you all. Thanks for being my sounding board when I needed it.

perrycornish Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Isn't it a great feeling, Kelly? I got mine back a few weeks ago and felt so delighted to be really independent again! I found actually driving, harder than I thought I would. and was very down about it, but I was encouraged to keep at it ( when I was feeling physically well enough!) and now its back to the old days when I was a darn good driver, even if I do say so myself Today I am relaxed in that driving seat but at the same time try to recognise that there are some days when I would make a better passenger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivien Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Congrats on getting your licence back I have mine back but only drive for short distances as my concentration is not very good and it seems to tire me out. When I am a passenger I start yawning and can't stop, don't know why though Vivien x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kdenardo Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hey all, just me. Thought I would give you an update. Have had ups and downs, but still really enjoy just having the plastic in my purse. I guess knowing I can is good enough for me right now. Tried to run a couple errands and am very uncomfortable in crowds ie. grocery store. I can do it tho - that's what hubby says Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vivien Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Pru I think you have to tell the DVLA yourself and then ask the docs when they think you will be fit to drive again Vivien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogbrush Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Hi Prue You are required by law to inform the DVLA of your SAH or any medical condition which affects your fitness to drive. The hospital will not usually do it for you. There is a form to fill in. The DVLA medical advisers will decide if and when you are fit to drive in consultation with your neurosurgeon and your GP. See: How to tell DVLA about a medical condition You need to fill in form B1 which can be downloaded at the following page: If you are applying for or currently hold a car or motorcycle licence (group one) See also: What happens after you have told DVLA about your medical condition You must also inform your insurance company. I was given permission to continue driving after 3 months, but it does vary depending on whether you've had complications, like epileptic seizures, for example, and it could take up to a year. Hope this helps. Regards Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
