It seems like a sin to have a beautiful new car, only to look at it and unable to drive it. :o(

I got my license medically suspended on Tuesday...as a result of continued concussion symptoms from the 4/27 accident. ARGH! I'm so upset. Totally didn't see it coming when I went to the neurologist. He said it could be MONTHS! I of course said no f-ing way, I have to work! And I live 40 miles away from work! So my job is letting me temporarily work from home, but only through next week. There's no good public transportation there (a 2 1/2-3 hr train ride one way). So it's all quite a mess and I'm fighting it. Also getting a 2nd opinion next week. This is so ridiculous, has anyone heard of such a thing?

He said he is required by law to take my license b/c I have lost consciousness since the accident. Actually I've fainted a few times--but its related to a medicine I'm on. He wouldn't buy it though and is making me get an MRI and see an epilepsy doctor and bunch of other stuff. Also ordered physical and speech/memory therapy, only I can't get there because I CAN'T DRIVE!!!

I need a lawyer...Paul, are you done yet?

    Wow, I'm sorry you're going through this! I hope you can get it figured it out. Is there anybody you can carpool with?

    what accident?! Hope everything turns out ok. Sounds like your doctor is a douche.
