Yes Sir, Where can I take you sir?
Posted by ivy | Under Ivy Unleashed Wednesday Jan 9, 2008Well as of today dh has been told he can no longer drive. he is being reported to the DMV by his doctor as well because he now has an official diagnosis of seizures. The dr said that he MAY be able to get his license back after 2 years of being seizure free.. He has also been started on seizure meds..
Me.. I’m ready to scream. What else do I need thrown upon me? Am I selfish because all i’m thinking about right now is me? I do enough. I take care of enough. The kids, the house.. and now I have to drive him around too??????????????I make 3 trips a day hauling kids.. Now I have to make 2 more hauling dh to work and back. I guess i’m lucky at this point he can still work.. Lets hope he is not let go because of this.
I can’t believe that! No diagnosis as to what is causing the seizures? Has he seen a neurologist? Did they do a CT scan and MRI? Bloodwork? There has to be an answer as to why he is having them. I’d be plenty mad at the docs too right now if I were you. Mad that they didn’t diagnose a cause and mad for them allowing him to get hooked on those pain killers. Maybe you should get a Chauffeur’s license and start driving for hire. I hear they make pretty good money! Sorry– just trying to lighten it up a bit. I really feel for you and the load you are carrying right now. Michele
Yes I forgot to add that they have ran blood work, done a ct scan everythign comes back perfect. Apparently alot of seizures are un explained. He sees a neurologist soon. They are working on scheduling his appt now.
It’s good for him that he isn’t able to drive, but what a huge weight to be put on your shoulders! My mom can’t drive because of seizures (we’re going on about six years of this) so I’m constantly getting called to give her rides, along with my sister too. At least I live further away so I can’t always take her places.
2 whole years, Ivy? That’s going to be Hell for your entire family. I hope that y’all can figure a way out from under that.
Ivy, I can really sympathize with you; my husband had a stroke in August and he can’t drive either. I don’t know if he ever will again. But I don’t have 4 small kids. I don’t how you can do it all - but I know you can. It will be hard, but wouldn’t he do it for you if the shoe was on the other foot?
Michele sent me.
Hello, Michele sent me to say I know where you are coming from. I take care of my 91-year-old mother…and there are days when I never see the outside of my house…Gooid luck! But do make sure he sees a neurologist and has some tests!
I don’t have any advice but I am thinking virtual hugs at you. Michele sent me.
