Sorry to hear this, it was sounding like you were on the mend. I wish you a speedy recovery.

 

I hope they can come up with some answers! I know you love what you do and if it’s getting back to that I’m pulling for you!! But being able to return to an active lifestyle will be first on my list of prayers!!

 

Good Morning Folks

Snow is melting and expecting rain later.

Change in leadership at work. New company President. He doesn't believe in working from home. I've been seeing a lot of new people (suits) walking around lately.

Sorry to here this.
I've been on these meds for 37 years now. I still remember being in the hospital after my first seizure and being told I had epilepsy. Hard to except at first. I asked a lot of questions and got educated. Make sure you ask about any side effects of the meds and what to watch for. The first meds I was on made me tired. Ask what meds are available. If you have any questions. Pm me

 

Morning, got the coffee ☕ brewing again. And the smell of bacon cooking mmmm

 

Sorry to hear about this Jim , thoughts and prayers sent

 

Morning all

You hadn't taken the test? How'd we miss that?

 

Damn
Like I said before, find an epileptologist

 

Not sure if it's just the basic camaraderie, or the shared life experiences, but on another vehicle site the "You know you're old" thread is probably the best as well.

For my new friend with the seizures, it's probably the fact that nobody can tell you what's wrong more than the fact that something is wrong. When you know the demon, you have something to fight against.

 

I've taken the test three times, Andy.

I just modify my answers ever so slightly, lol

 

That does blow hard.

I'm not sure what you do for work, but is there something you can do that doesn't involve driving? A good buddy of mine started having seizures in his early 40s. We were both driving trucks at the time. So as you'd guess, the Dr. pulled his license. The company kept him working on the dock for over a year until he got cleared to go back to driving.

 

Have to drive to get to work, so for now no work.

 

Dammit Jim. I'm so sorry to see this. I know you're frustrated. I hope the neurologist will be helpful. Good thoughts to you.

 

Well either they don’t make glass like they used to or I’m very destructive! I just made the appointment to replace the second windshield in the transport van and we’ve had it a little over a year.

 

It never ends!!

 

Windshields recently over the past 10-15 years have been known to develop stress fractures due to temperature conditions where it see's constant warm to cold temps

 

This one had a small peck but it was close to the edge and it started running. The last time a golf ball sized rock hit it going down the road scared the crap out of me. I don’t think it would have been any louder if somebody shot at me going down the road.

 

I was meeting a truck as well and I’m sure the people behind me were wondering what was going on. The van wobbled some on this one because I dodged inside. And I don’t recall for sure but there was probably profanity!

 

Wear your seat belt and you won't break the windshield
