I know...a bucket of KFC for $10 every Tuesday? We can't help ourselves but I will tell you it's doing nothing good for my figure...LOL 🙂 I am COMPLETELY with you on McDonalds' fries. There are no better fries anywhere. Carl's Jr. has some good burgers but we have a burger place called In and Out burger and it's FANTASTIC!!! Again, doing nothing for my figure but you have to enjoy some of life's little pleasures, am I right?
I agree with you. Planning and making sure Keegan was settled and providers were in place was and is extremely important. We need to know that he will be cared for when the time comes. He is a very happy guys and gives us his forehead for kissed every time we come over. We will be going over tomorrow to see him. I can't believe how small the houses are there. The group home for Keegan is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom and is probably about 1450 sq. ft. It's a nice house and is plenty of room for the 3 boys there.
You definitely have to appreciate all the small things in life. It's the little things in life that are so satisfying. For me, a good meal and glass of wine is wonderful!
I totally understand about the memory issue. Most AED's affect your memory, at least in my opinion. How are you doing on the Briviact? Tired during the day? Any other side effects so far? I am keeping my fingers crossed!
Keep me posted. I look forward to talking with you soon.
Kerry

Hi Kerry,
Yes! A bucket of 8 pieces for $10. OMG! I can only smile and dream, with mouth drooling. If that's to be a single day promotion over here, I can assure you queue will form outside every KFC outlet in the country. I had heard of In & Out, it just hasn't landed on our shores yet. The day it does? Trust me. There's going to be a queue. One weird manner Singaporean is we love to queue. The new iPhone? Yeah we queue. We are nuts, I know. Even without epilepsy. If you have the chance, come visit south east Asia. Every country has respective amazing own cuisine (I doubt you will fly 10k miles to eat KFC) and there's just so much to see/do at a decent price.
Yes, apartments are small here, and it's 99 years leasehold. A house at 1450sqft sounds pretty decent, since it's a chore to clean up a big place. Yup, unfortunately spaces for living here ain't big and that's why some of my friends went to Australia and are so happy there.
Something bigger may be meant for Keegan, just that he hasn't encountered it yet. Can you imagine both Elton John and Agatha Christie battle epilepsy? The home he's at home is a good idea. He can interact with others in a safe environment, and he genuinely loves his parents' company. You and your husband's!
All of us have to appreciate the little things in life (just act innocent when you can with your doctor if you have to about those KFCs). I hadn't touched single drop of alcohol for almost 10 years now due to possible clash with medication, unfortunately.
@santosh099 This is to Chris as well. It's been 3 night of consuming 50mg of Briviact per night. I am glad to say there's no major side effect like suicidal thought or binging on KFC. The side effects I felt for the past few days are the normal ones I would feel when consuming any AEM, so nothing to worry there. We are 12 hours ahead of the East Coast, so it's Tuesday afternoon here and I started consuming it ~8pm local time Saturday.
Most important - no seizure. I used to have one daily and I actually had caffeinated tea outdoors this morning. I avoid all drinks with caffeine (including Coca Cola) unless in a safe environment as I am not sure if that's a trigger. After 3 hours, nothing except for a slight headache now which I am not sure whether I can attribute to either tea or the drug. I will update again on Saturday evening local time unless there's anything major.
Cheers,
Louis
