“I’m sorry but there’s no way in hell I’d let a person who had unexplained seizures drive a car with my children in it. They don’t even know what caused them, let alone if they are permanently gone.”
“I can understand this fear, but anyone could have a heart attack or stroke while driving. The restriction is 6 months for a reason.”
“Dang hopefully she takes care of herself first.”
