ada question- my daughter has epilepsy

[mopinko]

7. thanks. the sad thing is

this whole thing has unwound slowly. turns out she has been having seizures all her life. her brother accidentally broke her skull when she was 4. talk about dont tell mom. i never knew. but it took all this time to put the whole thing together. (she is 21)
she had a lot of psyche-type symptoms that turned out to be seizures.
she and i are both so happy for her to finally be getting better. it seemed like the light at the end of the tunnel.
sigh.

driving is a thing. the only bad part about the job is that it is an hour and a half of public trans each way. for a 4 hour shift. she is really hoping to get under control enough to drive. it is about a 20 minute drive.
in the meantime, they are talking about opening another location that is much easier and she had her fingers crossed for a management job, or at least a big raise to move.

poor kid. seems like every time she dares to hope her body bites her in the ass.

i remember your seizures. it is hard to lose driving privileges. it drove my mom over the edge into infirmity when she has a bad hip replacement that took away control of her right foot. at least it was clear cut, and not something that we had to fight her about. but it really took away so much.
