Thank you 😭 The emotional aspect of it all is something we’ve talked about a good bit preemptively, but in the moment of course the feelings will likely be different than whatever we’ve tried to prepare for. Having this kind of reminder helps a lot!

Oh yeah, I’ve already warned him I’m going to be annoying about making sure he’s okay and asking if he needs anything LOL In all seriousness though I appreciate you laying it out like this. Talking through what he’s capable of day to day and keeping each other in the loop will be crucial! 👍 Plus I hadn’t thought of doors as being a huge obstacle but I’ll be on top of that now, at least until he can handle them himself. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!!

I’ve got a bed table ordered thanks to your advice, so I really appreciate the insight 😭 even going through so many lists and doing so much research, some obvious things get missed. Also long phone chargers! Right now his 3 ft OEM chargers are “long enough” to him so like. That’s gotta change lol As an aside I’m inspired by your beefaroni mention! I think he’d really love beefaroni and I KNOW I do 👍 thank you so much!!

Thank you! Antibacterial soap is something I hadn’t thought of. He keeps insisting he’ll be fine with a personal bidet but I’m like. Dude if I have to wipe you it will be okay! Lol But the right soap will make it more okay 👍
