Because of what happened 7 years ago, I got a piece of hamburger stuck in my lung instead of going into my stomach. So the way we had to get it out was to have surgery and they also put the J-tube in at the same time. Because I had aspiration pneumonia I had no choice in the matter they only gave me 15 minutes to decide about the operation or they said I would die. So I ended up in a group home which I do not like. I've been in a group home ever since. They restrict me from living my life. For instance let's say I met a girl I would not be able to have a full relationship if you know what I mean.
I liked it very much because I pick to when I went out and what buses I took I was much more independent I went to the grocery store every weekend and I got to choose what to do and I had a couple small parties form my church. and I was able to drink alcohol which I can't do with this stupid tube. I got involved with a mens gay group until I got sick and I enjoyed that because they were men I could talk to about different things like the bible and stuff.
They made lots of promisses to me when I moved into the group home but they never followed through. Like that I could go out as much as I wanted, then they told me they didn't have proper staff. The only reason I'm still at bi is I refused to go to their day program. It consists of taking labels off cans and bundling newspapers no wonder my friend "L" goes crazy there.
