I have also given up applying for less physically demanding jobs because apparently ten years of turning up to the same job and being good at it isn't a useful thing to put on a CV.

I'm glad some of my writing has helped. That's why I write it (and that's why I hope my voice reaches outside the "Disability Community")
At first, I read 'car' as 'cat,' so it took a beat or too to process "still drivable." I'm glad you have a bus available.
Tip I learned from a 'navigating college while disabled' course I took, after graduating college: break your studying into ten to fifteen minute chunks. For example: immediately after class, take ten minutes to go over your notes while everything fresh in your mind, and rewrite them legibly -- translating fragments into sentences, etc. Then stop, take a break. An hour or two later, go through your textbook, and spend ten minutes checking the headings and chapter sections that cover the material in your notes. Then stop, etc.
That way, you're more likely to remember everything (We tend to remember the first and last things we study, and forget the stuff in the middle -- so make "the middle" as small as possible). And you're less likely to burn out.
