I get a lot of the same questions so I thought I'd do a little Q&A. I’m going to give the REAL answers and not the normal “oh fine thanks.” Feel free to leave comments or send me an email with more questions.
Q: You look good, you back to normal now?
A: I have hair now with a short hair cut. You can’t tell I have a titanium plate in my head or see all the scars. Normal for me will never be as it was before. I’m still trying to find out what normal is now. So the answer is no.
Q: So you ready to start back to work?
A: This always bothers me because I look normal and if I’m at the top of my game (rested up and ready) I can pass off as a pretty normal person. This doesn’t last for long but I never put myself in situations where it has to. The short answer is no.
Q: Well why can’t you work?
A: I cannot even say my ABC’s. I still sleep for 12 hrs a night and I’m on enough seizure meds to knock out a horse. Work is not in the future.
Q: When are you going to start driving again?
A: I do not know. Legally I have to be seizure free for 6 months. I’m currently at about 3. Duke does offer a test that evaluates your driving skills. At the moment it does not appear that I would get close to passing. I cannot multitask and that poses problems with driving.
Ok that’s enough for now. Off for a nap!
