It has been months since I was behind the wheel of a car...I have been sitting around watching other people drive Tyrone (my baby) or riding around in someone else's car. I knew why I was not able to drive, but I still did not like it. I felt as if I could not do anything for myself!
The reason I was unable to drive myself was because I had trouble staying awake. I would randomly fall asleep even if I did not feel sleepy. There were times where I would doze off while I was behind the wheel. God was the one who kept me safe. This would happen while I was having a flare up. The scary part is...sometimes I do not know if I am in the middle of a flare up.
I am still taking it day-by-day, but I am back on the roads. I do not drive in the evening unless I have someone else in the car with me or unless I am on the phone with someone. I make sure I get enough sleep at night and I am on a very strict medication regimen. I am slowly getting my independence back and I could not have done it without the love and support of my parents and the faith that I have in the Big Man above!
