When Tim left the hospital last month, he stopped taking his seizure medication (Dilantin). He just did not want to take it anymore. He did not like how it made him feel. Without this medication, he was doing well. His head was clear, and he could function. He went in for a follow up appointment with his doctor, and this doctor really let him have it about taking the seizure medication. So Tim began taking it again. We have to remember, Tim has not had a seizure with this accident or recovery. His doctor wants him to take it as a precaution. Last week Tim experienced severe side effects from this medication. Bad enough to visit the emergency room. As an adult, Tim can refuse any medication he wants to. His nursing staff actually told us that in the hospital. He is conflicted with following Doctor's orders and taking something that makes him feel so horrible or going against the Doctors and feeling normal and fully functioning.
His doctors will not sign off on his driving release until 6 months after the accident. This is only a few months away, but seems like an eternity to Tim. He could really use some words of inspiration. If you would like to call or email Tim and don't have his information, please email me at lisaallen30@yahoo.com .
