@santosha thank you, Chris. Lots of good information you’ve shared here. I’m curious—sounds like you returned to swimming but not to driving. Can you please share why/why not?

Good Morning Marianne!
My pleasure!
You're right - I'm not driving. My doctor has advised me to stay seizure-free for two years before I can drive again, which I haven't achieved yet.
I did return to swimming for a while, always with someone by my side. In the second half of 2025, my focal seizures came back and I decided it was best to stop swimming for a while. But I've still enjoyed some time at the beach this summer and waded into the sea up to my hips. It felt so good!
Chris
