Cell phone makes a good flashlight in case of emergency in the dark, as well.
I have not started to drive yet, but night time will be out of the question any time soon.
You might be surprised by this ..... I was. I have no problem driving in the dark because I am not trying to walk in it. It took me several months post-op before I was comfortable driving period (remember I have no vestibular function on either side, so a bit different than a usual single-sided AN patient) but I was very surprised the first time I drove at night that it was no problem. I just assumed since it was a major problem
walking in the dark that driving would be equally so. If your vision is stable riding in the car after dark, driving should be OK. Try it out in a safe place with someone with you when you feel ready.
Now, I have to add this .....

After you get to where you are going in the dark, you may have to stay in the car since you still cannot walk safely in the dark .....

Best wishes. BTW, we have no gray foxes, but lots of deer and raccoons ..... eating the new flower shoots coming up! But, they are fun to watch, along with the myriad of birds we have coming to our feeders.
