i live out in the middle of nowhere *which is exactly where i like*. it takes about a 20 minutes to get to the closest little town and an hour 3 different directions to 3 bigger towns. i leave my house once,,,sometimes but not often twice a week. i play online and talk to a few friends. i read alot and spend all my time with my little cavi. when i do get out and about i can be a social butterfly if i'm in the mood...
i live a secluded life...but i like it like that :)

Depending where you live! I used a handicap service. I lived in Los Angeles, MD and now in Northern CA. My Epileptologist gave me information on services that you pay $5 - $7 a ride per trip. I wasn’t aware of it until I was in the ER getting swiped by car during a walking seizure. Almost every county in the all the states have it. It was a blessing for me!

Hi Mike Johnson, Sorry to hear about your mother! I just had my aunt, 67 yrs. old, who was extremely bad health for yrs and upset when she passed away. But ,I know it may sound mean or sick to others, but what helped me cheer up was knowing she didn't have to suffer no more and I did have to watch her do it. Also, I have been living by myself for 23 yrs.with not much of a social life.Glad to hear you have others for support! I found the best help, 24/7 hrs. a day, for me was a seizure alert dog. I know you hear how expensive they are but I know I got mine at a non-profit org. service dog. training camp, Canine Partners for Life, for giving a donation and tell others about them to help others and get donations to keep them continue to be a great help which they are. If interested they're in Cochranville, PA, there may be other camps like that closer to you if you're not close to them. Wish you the best!👍

I am at that point, and have been for some time. There is always a solution, tho.' You can find just about anything you want on the WEBSITES now available, especially for a city like Philly. It all comes down to what you are looking for, really. Once you determine that you can get busy. Regards, Jake
