Hello @A MyMSTeam Member, so sorry this happened but so thankful nobody was hurt. It’s a really tough decision to make. I live in a small village and just drive very locally. I will be stopping soon I think. Look after yourself 💐💜
@A MyMSTeam Member, that was before when I only needed a cane. My MIL would take forever and the last time she parked diagonally instead of straight and said “oh well” when I mentioned the parking job. I only got part of the stuff I needed so we could just get out sooner. It’s crazy how losing part of our independence really brings you down.
Thank you Danny @A MyMSTeam Member I'm just rattled.
I stopped driving in 2018 but I have no need to. There is a rapid transit bus stop right outside my building. I use the back door, walk about 200 feet and cross the street. The stop is in the middle of the road. I think the bus is faster than driving.
I also use Uber when I have medical appointments. A friend drives me on MRI days because I take a sedative.
I knew it was time to stop when I tried to step on the brake pedal but stepped on the gas instead. Several times. And that was in an empty parking lot thank God. Not worth it.
