That happened to me last year.  I hate the restrictions they put on you after something like that, but I was able to go out after two weeks.

Have fun jumping through the hoops now, EEG's, scans, doctor shit, medical bills.  I technically wasn't even supposed to drive for 6 months, but its not something authorities could know about because of medical confidentiality.

+++ vibes dude.  if it makes you feel any better, i was just on www.buildering.net yesterday reading an interview with Alain Robert (Spiderman), the dude that free solos building all over the world.  i guess he fell on his head a few years ago and had a seizure, but hey he's still climbing today and he's like 45, so you should be fine. maybe you should check out the interview for inspiration, the guy is a nut,
peace

 The 6 month thing is because they want to rule out the possibility of a seizure disorder, which I did not have.  Mine was because of trauma.

You are right, though, if I fell on my head while driving, I could run the risk of seizing and destroying a minivan's worth of children, I'm such a dick.

Shut the fuck up.

doctors dont just make shit up for the fun of it.... if they told you to wait six months, it was probably for a reason.

My Doctor told me I could drive, but its protocol for the 6 month warning thing.
