Profile text:My partner has had many health issues. Just looking to see if there are others who would like to chat or email on occasion, possibly swap photos, maybe a friendship can come of this. I will not do anything that can jeopardize my relationship nor hurt my partner in any way but making friends will always be a possibility. As an update he is managing as best he can and still deals with arthritis and some back/neck issues. We found that a daily massage or two in the neck and upper back seems to give him much relief and I will do anything for him to give him this relief. Do not hesitate to reach out as life is too short to avoid others who may be a friend in waiting and can add joy to your life.
Update on my partner: He has not actually gotten any better physically and this hurts me to see, but more important is he has started to have memory issue and cognitive issues. This scares me as I cannot help but think I am loosing him to this. We have mostly good days and the mornings are the best for him. I do notice that in the evenings is when he starts to question what is happening around us. I stay vigulant in keeping an eye on him and keeping him safe both at home and when out and about. We are starting to get involved with medical specialists for this and hope to have some clarifications as to our outcome soon. Thank you for caring as the notes from others helps me to know there are good people in the world.
We did get a final diagnosis on my partner. He has Vascular Dementia and Parkinson's. I am going to do my best to keep him safe at home and not put him in memory care somewhere outside the home. It may take 24/7 care here but if so I will arrange it. He deserves to spend his final days here at the home he loves even at the time he no longer remembers it. This is what we do for our partners. I do hope others will understand just how precious life is and if you have a partner tell him many times a day just how much yo love him.
A bit more update to my profile: We both have had our Pfizer Covid vaccines, but still wear masks when out and social distance when required. I use to hit tennis balls 3 times a week, but this has slowed for me. We had hoped to get back to walking 1 mile daily to give him some exercise, but this too has slowed. I still get out with the camera to take photos of the beautiful country side here and on occasion will enlarge some to frame.
Final update on Duane, my partner. He passed away Monday July 3, 2023 in my arms here at our home. He went peacefully the way he wanted and I take comfort in knowing he is no longer in pain or discomfort, no longer dealing with Parkinson's and Dementia. I will always cherish the opportunity to be with Duane until the end and him knowing I was with him. Currently I feel lost without Duane and am trying to figure out what come next in life. I have a very supportive family and friends who will assist me and guide me through the coming weeks and months. I also take comfort in knowing Duane will always be my angel watching over me. Duane was my rock, my soulmate, my partner, my best friend and my life. Tell your partner daily you love them because one day you may never get to do this again. May you all have the life you want and want the life you have. Duane and I had the life together we could have ever hoped for.
I decided to sell our home in Arizona and have moved to Clinton Tennessee March 1, 2025. Will be a new start to a new life for myself while also carrying the memories of Duane and me from the past 25 years. Hopefully will be able to meet some great interesting fellows here to build a wonderful social life around.
Copied this from another profile so hope the original writer is OK with me doing this.
Find a guy who calls you handsome instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep - wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're handsome! One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares, and how lucky he is to have YOU - the one who turns to his friends and says, "That's him."
