Well, I still have a license to drive but choose not to thanks to black outs. WHy blackouts? well they come from diabetic neuropathy of the cardiovascular nerves. Is that enough of a mouthful. At one time I kept thinking "I'll go 6 months without a black out and go back to driving" now I have accepted the fact that my days behind the wheel are over unless I am out with someone and they need help getting home.

I choose not to drive because if I were to black out; have a wreck and kill some one and I were to live the guilt would kill me. (I know that is a run on sentence.) The chances of me blacking out are more than the average cause the nerves forget to tell my heart to beat!
