Moving On?

It's been a while since I put up a post, so this is my attempt at it. There isn't much going on right now. True, my seizures are behaving themselves, and that could possibly be due to the fact that after I'd seen my neurologist last week, he'd prescribed a change in my seizure meds. One dosage up, and another down; keep the other were it stands. Also true, that it has seemed to be working for me. I'm feeling more lucid upstairs, some of my recent memory has been opened back up, I'm able to finish school in the mid-afternoon, and my favorite, the endless energy I seem to have. Funny thing. As I'm more lucid upstairs, parts of my brain seemed to have had a shadow lifted off of them, and I am able to do things that I couldn't do (at least while I was on that med) before. For example: My time with God, it used to be indepth, almost 3D. Lately, it has seemed stale, 2D. Now, I'm back to where I communicate with God on a conversational level. I think that is due to that particular medicine, or mixture thereof, had on my brain. I'm even picking up projects that are sorely needing to be done etc.
Of course, this could all go away within a few weeks like the rest of my career, but I have a good feeling about this dosage. After all, I gotta start my driving career (cars, not golf) sometime, and it's never too late to start. I am a true Benamite, right out of the Bible. I'm left-handed, and also left-footed. Good luck trying to drive like that. Of course, it could be due to that brain-surgery entire right-side paralyzing issue. I kid my family all the time that when I finally am able to learn how to drive, I'm going to have to 1. learn how to drive with a weakened right foot while the other is Velcroed down, or 2. two-foot the pedals, and my final option is to find a car hand control that operate the brakes. I think option two is the most likely. You just can't fight impulse. My seizures belong back in my teens, with zits, and I want to move on with my life, but as God wills, not mine.

If your going to be driving with a 2-feet driving style (aka left-foot-brake right-foot-gas).....

...better to be strong and dominate in your left foot than right foot ;D
