bad news
I'd just like to thank everyone for your comments and replies to my last entry and topic on the forum. Im so thankful you all are in my life! but I do have bad news. On Tuesday I fell down. I don't know how I fell. I checked to make sure my shoes were tied and they were, I tried stepping on my pants leg but it was not long enough to trip me. I really dont understand what exactly caused me to fall. Lately, I've been thinking I want to go to the neurologist just to make sure everything is ok. The fall kind of scared me and lately I have been having headaches. I have an appointment with my pain management doctor later this month. When I fell, I bruised my left hand on the carpet and I landed on my left side so everything was sore for a while. I also heard my knee pop so I have been wearing the arthritis brace I bought from Wal Mart because my knee pops a lot and it just hurts. The doctor told me to take motrin or advil for the pain but I dont like taking too many medicines as I am already taking baclofen for spasticity and keppra for seizures.
More bad news is I got the letter back from the DMV and once again they still dont feel like I should drive. It really hurts because since my birthday is next saturday I was hoping to get my first car and everything was a waste of time; taking driver's ed for 4 weeks of my summer, saving up for a car, taking that long driver test with OT, taking the vision test, waiting and calling for a month trying to find the lost faxes. Everything was all for nothing. Maybe I should move to another state and get a 2nd opinion? Or maybe I should just move to New York and take the subway for the rest of my life? All I want to do is be independent. I hate the thought of spending the rest of my life in the passenger seat with my mom or dad driving me everywhere, the thought of being dropped off and picked up like a kid at daycare. It seems like everything in my life has changed for the better except my vision, my hand, and my foot. My birthday is next Saturday but the only thing I want is the one thing I cant have
