After a ban on car driving of around 14 months because of my brain bleed, I am now allowed to drive again.
In the car I do not get giddy and feel safe, although I drive slower than before, at least for now. In the last year,things seem to have got faster, although I am sure this is me! My wife thinks I should be wearing a hat!
Up to now, I have driven fairly locally and my wife is usually in the car with me. The exception for the last few weeks has been a solo drive to the Newmarket Road, Cambridge, Park and Ride site, where I catch the bus into the city for my U3AC course on Human Evolution, a course I am really enjoying. For several years I was too busy for U3AC, but this year is different.
Although I am usually suffering from at least 2 of the following, it is good to be doing "normal" things again and mixing with healthy people. My remaining issues are (1) giddiness when walking. (2) poor liquid swallow, (3) tiredness following physical work of ANY kind. Today, I don't feel tired whereas for several days previously I had been totally exhausted.
