@hopeful33250 what is so funny now is that first trip i was so scared and anxiety levels through the roof . first time overnight that didn't include the hospital. my daughter and her wife were worried and i could see that. i stayed strong front and knew i could make the trip. just extra planning. like letting my friend know he didnt need to stress over my condition that i knew the avenue of events to watch for and would let him know. that was a great start seeing the registration that i had control again with some important steps. we went out to dinner two nights and the crowded place i was able to navigate better. lot of planning and talking to myself in the mirror on what i would say to those that needed to know i had seizures. what to do to help or who to contact. made myself more confident in being away, even though just a few days. was a blessing in disguise. hope something here helped someone.
