Driving
How many here can still drive?
I took myself off the road voluntarily but could probably still drive in an emergency. But only within a few miles of my house.
My vision has been compromised so much from MS that I just don't feel safe or comfortable driving. Plus, my left leg gives me so much trouble. I know it wouldn't be the leg I used to operate the pedals but I still feel much less capable than I was before.
Some days I feel so isolated and alone. My boys give me rides whenever and wherever I need to go. But the ability to just get in the car and "go" whenever I want to is something I never fully appreciated until I couldn't.
On the brighter side I have been able to save alot of money by not having a car.
