Anyone notice they 'Zone Out' while driving?
Anyone get lost in thoughts, that it takes you away from driving??
Anyone notice delayed responses??
Anyone notice they cannot talk on the cellphone and drive at the same time??
Anything else??

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I FAILED! FAILED...
I was shocked, stunned!
They said I should not be driving. The NP Doc said I was probably ok to do local driving, but no highway driving.
Even before the testing, I had noticed I am not as aware as I was before. I'd miss turns when I was going somewhere, b/c I was not paying attention.
He said he cannot take my license away, only my Mdoc or Pdoc could. No one has mentioned it.
It freaks me out, b/c I carry my Precious Cargo...my kids.
I only drive to take them to school which is only about 3 miles away, and to the grocery, stores...which is all within 5 miles or so.
The NPDoc said if I was ever in a wreck, and they found my Medical Records, it would be my fault...SCARY.
I have wanted to put a magnet or something on my car about PTSD, but wonder if I was in a wreck/accident, if that would spark any concern about my abilities??
I just wonder how many other PTSD'ers have driving probs??
I answered no, because I didn't know what else to do. I want to be able to drive when I am feeling up to it.
I try not to drive if I don't have too.
I do zone out alot as well.
