To-day is Thursday, March 5th-- It is very dark outside --freezing rain predicted to-day and to-morrow--Well, yesterday was a complete flop--Apparently my Doctor --Dr Amir, sent the results in from my memory test, and I fully believe that they (whoever "they" are)--will pull my driver's Licence--You see, I suffer from an under active Thyroid-- take meds for it--so, of course my memory is really under active, all the time---even with the Synthroid meds-- He (The Doctor) told me that I did well on all the test, EXCEPT --the memory part--of course--and I cannot change that.
#1--Patience is the best remedy for every trouble
#2.--Telling the truth is a brave act--
#3.-If someone can do it, you can do it!
So, I am in the "depths of despair" here--How can I manage without my vehicle at my age-- --unless-----I get a motorbike--which might end up killing me--but maybe--just maybe , it won't!-- It could be a possibility--I do see them around town---
and an Air Canada aircraft----getting read to head toVancouver with Son#2 our son, the pilot on it----
--So much going on to-day-- and hopefully Spring is in the air--I hope that your day goes well---Become a better person from your trials and tribulations--Never give up ON WHAT YOU REALLY WANT TO DO_Life sometimes is not fair--
I shall get that wash into the dryer--and poor wee Sushi wants her breakfast ---so, I shall be back to read YOUR words of wisdom-- Hugs to you all-- Lynda

ReplyDeleteI do not think that they would have sent a new licence and let you have the car in your name if they did not feel that you could be a safe driver most people tend to know when they need to give up driving they notice that they are not keeping up with the speed of the other cars and they notice that they have oh gee when did I pass that I don't remember that moments more often people just know or your kids will see it and make you stop driving but I do not feel that a test will show this especially a memory test

Deletemild outside-- nice ---Lynda
DeleteYes my memory is not great --but it does not affect my driving--I take Synthroid for it-- because I need that-- It helps but doesnt solve the problem-Lynda
DeletePlease consider removing the info on your vehicle from this post. Although most of the people on here are your 'friends', there are people who run across info like this and will use it for their benefit. I may be too cynical about these kinds of things - but you need to be careful.
ReplyDeleteThank yu foR telling me that--I deleted It--= Yu are very good to tell me that--I shudda known-- Lynda
DeleteOh my dear Lynda, can you retake the test? Im so sorry but there must be exceptions and perhaps a time whrn you can retake....40,60 days, something. Try to hold on and not give up yet. Im so sorry. Not what I expected to hear. Prayers. Prayers.

DeleteGood Morning Lynda,
ReplyDeleteI also agree with the poster who said you should remove your vehicle information from your blog. If somehow your account was hacked, they would have that info. We can never be too careful, there are so many scams and scammers anymore who are getting more and more clever with how to access your personal info.
On another note, you haven't received official notice that they are going to pull your license so try to think positive. If forbid that happens, won't your children living near you be able to help with driving you where you need to go. Also, check into transportation for seniors, they have that in the states. They will pick you up and take you to your destination as needed. Just maybe something to check into if needed. There are resources out there. But, I don't know where to send you for that since I live in the US.
Anyway, take a few deep breaths and think positive thoughts.
It will all be ok. Stay strong!
Hugs to you, Sushi and Lopez,
Jackie
Good morning, sis.
ReplyDeleteI have hypothyroidism, too. It has beem well managed, thank goodness.
I have just tooked up more info from the MayoClinic website. Memory issues are the last symptom mentioned. Maybe if you had the same doctor managing your meds, there would be a different outcome. DO NOT GIVE UP! You may need to remind your doctor of your excellent driving record. Have you told the kids yet? It's scary, huh?
Warmer and rainy here. Already it's 37F,
Tomorrow I will go to the doctor to discuss my arm and shoulder pain and the neuropathy in my legs down to the soles of my feet.
We will both survive and adapt the best we can. Let's all pray for each other!
Soon Spring will be here...flowering trees (lilacs!), little creatures running around, dandelions, bugs (ugh) and warmth! Going out without heavy clothing, Saint Patty's Day, Easter...let's think of all that as much as we can.
I am sure that Sushi and Lopez have been tended to. Hold them close. They will always love you, as do your family and your followers.
{{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie
I'm a little puzzled about the timeline. You got the license in the mail. You did a test with your doctor and he said you did well on everything except the memory part, and he sent the test results to the people that handle the licensing. If those test results were sent to them before the license came to you, I'm thinking you're OK and clear to drive. If the test results were sent LATER, then you don't KNOW whether further restrictions might be made. I would assume you are OK as long as you have that license! And you are so right, you know to be careful and avoid driving when you're not at your best.
ReplyDeleteChin up, as they say. You're good. Hugs and pets for the pets!
Good morning, Lynda! It is 100 percent rain in Ohio. Monday will be 68 and sunny. Just come on to Ohio for ice cream. That dumb test! I am so sorry you are dealing with that. I would probably fail the memory test but drive just fine. Also, a test can just feel overwhelming causing one not to do well so it looks worse that it is. I sure hope it gets sorted out. If you don’t care for the doctor, can you get a new one? I hope your day is good. Saying a wee prayer for you, Lynda. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Lynda, so happy to see that you wrote a blog today. I'm not sure that the results of the memory test would automatically result in you losing your license. Maybe things are different in Canada, but in the US, if a doctor or policeman send something to DMV, generally the driver has an opportunity to take a driving test at DMV to demonstrate that they can drive safely. The issue with your thyroid shouldn't be a disqualifier for having a license. Think positive, if you're able, and believe that this will all work out in the end.

Hi Lynda, it's Kathy. I'm sorry the test didn't go as well as you were hoping, but I honestly don't know what memory has to do with the ability to drive. It seems, at the very least, they should allow you to take a driver's test. I see Maureen above had the same thought. Please don't dispair, things always work out for the best. I'm glad you had the title changed to your name. Please try to have a good day!
ReplyDeleteYes, let's not jump to conclusions right off the bat. All you know is that you had the test, and failed the memory part. NO ONE has said that you cannot drive. Try to remain positive, and just take things a step at a time. My friend is doing that too, she goes wayyy too far into the future with what if's. It's not necessary. I have been to many a therapist and one of them always said "are you okay RIGHT NOW?" and I would say yes, and he said then just stay in the right now. Do you have a hobby you can do to get your mind off bad thoughts? Go and do that. Watch a comedy! Play your piano. Try to stay lighthearted. You really ARE just fine RIGHT NOW.
ReplyDeleteTake good care of yourself. Get lots of sleep, take your meds, eat healthy, talk to friends/family, about other things.
Whatever happens, you WILL be okay. I have terrible brain fog, everyday. I am on Synthroid b/c I have only half a thyroid. I have trouble with recall of words, have to search for the right words, and sometimes never do get them out. Writing is the one thing that I CAN do. Talking, not so much.
