No restraint needed for KFC. In Arizona, they have a special on Tuesdays for 8 pieces of chicken for $10. We take advantage of that often!
Well, it definitely sounds like it's just as hot, if not hotter. I used to live on the east coast where the temperature was similar to yours. I DEFINITELY do not miss the humidity but I do miss the ocean.
I'm glad to hear that your mom was constantly by your side. Believe me, as a mom, all we want is to be there and do everything we can. We don't care if what your age is-just that you are well cared for. I really hope the Briviact works well for you. I know it'll take time before you'll know so I'm keeping my fingers crossed as well.
As far as a group home, in Arizona, it is a house that provides twenty-four-hour care. There are providers in the home day and night and Keegan is assigned to certain providers, all of who he loves. Keegan lived at home and I was his primary caregiver for 24 years. My husband and I decided at age 24, we should find a good placement for Keegan because we will not live forever. So, Keegan is in a 3 bedroom house, on a golf course, with 2 roommates he loves. The group home works on daily living skills and having Keegan be as independent as possible. They constantly do activities, like movies, bowling, dining out, parks, etc. He LOVES it! I see him several times a month and I am close with all of his providers. It was the best decision we ever made for his independence.
I hope you enjoy some KFC! 🙂
Talk soon,
Kerry

Hi Kerry,

A bucket of 8 for $10? After factoring in the exchange rate, the same here will cost $23. You made me wanna fly over already.

Planning for our afterlife shouldn’t be a taboo. and I am glad both of you had made the necessary plannings for Keegan. That’s really important.

A group home here is mostly for old folks although I believe they do also house people of younger age who had lost their independence. Many families need them due to the old parents’ needs and also a 3 bed room apartment here is < 1000sqft. That is barely enough for a couple with a kid or 2.

Currently, both you and your husband and Keegan remain a close family, and for Keegan that emotional connection I’m sure means a lot to him. It is difficult to express oneself for most with epilepsy, but no doubt I’m sure he appreciates it all.

Well, I couldn’t remember the last time I visited a bowling alley. Those drugs do affect my memory ALOT. Many know I love the KFC for the chicken, McDonald’s for the fries (no offence but please don’t associate me with Trump but we know him here via CNN) and Carl’s Jr for their burgers. Unfortunately, the Carl’s Jr outlet in the nearest mall just closed and now Grab no longer delivered their burgers to my apartment. 😔

See what I mean by appreciating what we can still do? Besides drinks (I don’t mean water) and seizure, all’s good.

Cheers,
Louis
