Hey guys, I hope Mr. Bostondevil doesn't mind too much me sharing this information. About six years ago he had a couple of seizures which were attributed to overwork and not enough sleep. He's been seizure free since then until about a week ago. This time he's had to go on anti-seizure medication and can't, by law, drive for 6 months unless the doctor determines otherwise. He sees the neurologist on Monday but I've tried to prepare him for the fact that he won't be driving for a long while. I could be wrong, but I doubt it. In the meantime, I know have 5 males to cart around. Number 1 son now has his learner's permit. He needs to get a move on!

Oh no! I'll keep you and Mr. Bostondevil in my prayers. I hope that his seizures are due to nothing more serious than overwork and lack of sleep.
I hope that both of you get lots of rest and that you can avoid stress as much as possible.
(((HUGS)))

The driving thing for him is to be taken quite seriously. I hope it's something only of a temporary nature and he'll be back to full good health soon.
Prayers, vibes and best wishes for a complete recovery. As for the candor of bean spillage, assure him you've come to exactly
the right place!

BD - Prayers and vibes and hugs to the BD family as you await the results of the doctor's visit. Patience to you as your driving duties increase and may #1 son do well with his driving lessons so that he can help out in the driving department.

Mr. BD's neurologist is a Carolina grad. I'm going to have to admit, they aren't ALL bad. Mr. BD still can't drive for 6 months but that's not his doctor's fault, it's Massachusetts State Law.

BD, vibes and prayers for y'all! My best friend from high school has epilepsy. It took her a long time to get her license, and it's still kind of a shock when I go visit her and she drives me around.

Do you live anywhere near the T?

You know, it's really strange, but I had similar thoughts when I first read the BD post. I was overworked and stressed in Atlanta, and switched over to a mostly MARTA based ride 15 minutes by car to the MARTA, 75 minutes by MARTA). Although I spent 15 minutes more traveling each way compared with my car commute to university, I wound up lowering my blood pressure, and reducing stress. Unfortunately, my sleep patterns didn't get better until I moved to Kentucky. They're still not great, but they're improving.
But yeah, got to love good public transportation!
