I am driving now (woohoo!) I received my license back two years and eight months ago (~ July 2016). Prior to this, my license was suspended by VicRoads because of my stroke - particularly my paralysis and seizures. I will discuss my epilepsy after different post but, in short, I have epilepsy now because of my stroke and I delayed driving partly due my seizures. In order to re-qualify to drive, I needed to be seizure-free for at least 6 months.
In the early days of my recovery [in hospital], I heard so many people discussing driving with me. They were insistent that I can drive in the future... but I was thinking 'how'?? Because one side my body was paralysed - arms and legs - I was perplexed how will I feasibly do it.
