Trying for normalcy in a crazay, crazay world...lol

I'm not allowed to operate heavy machinery. Ok. I got that. But what constitutes "heavy machinery"? Is it anything with moving parts? Or is it something that would continue to run even if I weren't squeezing the trigger, so to speak? Frankly, if I had a seizure while chopping onions, I could fall on the knife and injure myself. So even though this doesn't fall into "heavy machinery" it could cause an injury. I could have a seizure while crossing an intersection and be run over by a bus! Please tell me I'm not the only one who is feeling hemmed in by overprotective friends and family! Today I built a simple 4 ft ladder for my concord grape vine to grow up. I had to use a circular saw which has a wonderful guard on top to protect me. I have felt fine all day. I can tell when I'm going to have a seizure. Yes, I understand their concern; but I was cautious and had no difficulties. I cannot continue to sit doing nothing because I'm afraid I might have a seizure. How do others handle this?
