Whatever the weird thing was the other night was gone in the morning,Must have been one of those strange things that turns up when I'm tired.
I've actually been walking fairly well the last couple of days,only needed my stick when I went to the doctors and only had it "just in case".Round the house I'm doing great,a bit wobbly at times but nothing like it used to be.
So I went to the doctors to get my medical clearance to drive and good news is I am medically fit to drive.Bad news is he thinks I need to have a practical test to check my co-ordination.I'm pissed off .
After the last attack I knew I couldn't drive so I didn't,then when my license came up for renewal last year,I didn't go and get it cos I couldn't afford it.
Now I can afford it and am almost back to where I was before the last attack and I need a driving test? I've been driving for over 30 years.I'm not stupid,I'm not going to do something that could put me ot anyone else at risk.
I know my limitations better than anyone and I know better than anyone else what happens with my symptoms when I push past my limitations.
It's not like I'm going to turn into a rev head and start doing burn outs down the street,I just want the option to drive if I run out of milk or something.I definitely can't walk to the shops.
I hate that other people have control of my life now,I hate that strangers get to determine what I can and can't do,I am not mentally incompetent and need people to help me make good choices.I am a sensible,rational woman(most of the time!)
So tomorrow after my infusion I'm going to motor reg. to find out what happens next.
