Would You Say You Were Raised Sheltered. Did You Feel Growing Up Sheltered, Or Caged. (I Felt Caged.)
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member
I would say I grew up being sheltered but even to this day I feel like I’m in a cage. I can’t go anywhere without someone else. I can’t even go out for a walk. I had a seizure one time and was found on the side of the street.
There is public transportation here but my son says that I'm not allowed to take the bus and I don't know this area.

I know what you mean. There is no public transportation where I live so I’m stuck in the house.
When I was growing up with seizures I was OK. As an adult I was taking the bus to where ever I needed to go. Recently I moved to an area that I don't know and my son says that I can't go anywhere by bus anymore and I feel locked up in the house.
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member Sometimes my husband is overprotective and I will get kind of prickly about it. Then I realize that it is all because he loves me and wants me to be safe. But my husband is more protective than my parents.

So (fingers Crossed) I’m Going To Have An Op This Year. For Those Who Have Had An Op, What Was Holiday Insurance Like?
