Seizing the Wheel
DEAR
ABBYOPTIMUS: My mother is 66 and has had two major epileptic seizures. She also has “minor” seizures that last only 30 to 60 seconds. I have seen them. Her doctor has told her not to drive and that it’s against the law in our state for her to drive until she has been seizure-free for six months. The problem is, Mom and her husband believe she can drive safely. She even bought a new car so she can get “better gas mileage.” I lost a brother in a car accident. I don’t want to lose my mother in one, too. I’m also afraid for the safety of pedestrians and other drivers in her path. What can I do or say to get Mom to follow the doctor’s orders?– WORRIED IN THE WEST
BEGIN TRANSMISSION: DESTINATION (WORRIED IN THE WEST)
We had a similar problem with human Chip Chase, a friend of Spike’s. He was constantly losing control of his wheelchair and running into all sorts of things – piles of Energon, Jazz’s fender, Sparkplug’s collection of “Daddy magazines.” Eventually, we had Ratchet scan his brain and found out it had accidentally been turned into antimatter while he was working on one of his experiments. Boy were our faces red when we found that out!
Has your mother had any run-ins with black holes recently? I am sure you do not have access to the same technology we do, but you can achieve the same results with a quick power drill trepanation.
