Re: When a Male's at the Wheel
Bruce: I have a Question about driving. Since being diagnosed with PD, I have begun to notice how I drive. Reaction time is slower Eyesight is not great. Hands shake and hurt on steering wheel I have dizzy spells etc., to name a few. I have no idea if I should quit driving. I know I don't want to hurt anyone or myself and I really try to stay away from driving during the day and nighttime is a real joke. The denial part of me says this is part of my independence but my brain and husband feels we should sell car. Husband/CG feels if it is not here I wouldn't drive it. Also, states that we are covering full coverage insurance and paying plates/taxes. I do understand him but I have no one else to ask advice. No other family. 1 Dr. has died (not replaced) other Dr. in serious water accident (no replacement). Can anyone just share their experience with me. Thank you all, so much. Gina 47/6 months
