FALSE START

Well, thinking since the doctors said Mike was cleared to drive, we thought "no problem...we'll just take the release letter to DMV and Mike will be back on the road..." NOT! We showed up to DMV and found out we needed to go to another DMV office with a Medical Department(...who hew they had one...) We went to the new one (25 miles away) only to find out the wrong form was submitted and were given the "correct" one to take back to the doctors.

Long story short...if we get the correct forms to Kaiser on Monday morning and everything is perfect we might get the paperwork back in 10-14 days...we can then drop it off at DMV and then DMV will take another 10-14 days to review the paperwork and decide (most likely) to hold a hearing (panel review) with Mike, and then if that goes well, then they will schedule him (in another additional 10 or so days) to come back and take any combonation of Drive test, Written test and/or Visual test.

So maybe in a month (if we're lucky) he'll get his license back and then he can start driving and working. How many hoops can you jump thru one day?
