I had my own car. It was great. 1970 Black Mustang. Couldn't drive it. Sold it to my brother. He wrecked it. Oh well. Never driven since, never will.

I think the only thing that we know for sure is that we will die. I belieive in the Quality of life, compared to the Quainty of life. I hae Scuba dive (love it), but won';t do it again until my seizures get better controlled. I did that when I was seizure free for over 6 yrs. Sky Dived (never do that again). I hae driven since I was old enough to drive, never had a seizure behind the wheel.
I have worked as a Volunteer EMT.FF. I work in the Crisis Mental Helath Field for almost 15 yrs. The last 4yrs at a Major Trauma Center in the CSRA. Even though I was told to go to tech school for bookkeeping because of my seizure's. I say do what you want, as long as it is no one else gets hurt.
