Just a little bit about myself. I'm 68, going on 38. I have MS, which is now stable. The doctor told me that once you reach a certain age, if you haven't progressed, you will remain as you are. I'm very fortunate..have pretty severe fatigue, a little numbness here and there, but my motor skills are mostly intact. Have some other skeletal problems that rear their ugly heads now and then, but, hey, at my age, I'm not complaining.
I have one little dog, after a lifetime of a multiple dog household. Lost my last 2 at 3 months apart and broke my heart. I don't think I've ever been without one as far back as I can remember. Will post an updated picture of my little Maddy soon!
I also LOVE cats, but haven't had any for about 20 years now. Cleaning litter boxes for so many years was enough for me to stop. I actually rescued cats and kittens. I miss having a cat around, but Maddy is so spoiled, she would not accept another pet, and I am fine with that.
In 2017, I was diagnosed with lung cancer. Had the surgery and, again, was so fortunate that it was a stage 1 and was caught early. When I reach the 3 year mark, the risk of recurrence goes WAY down. I have about 7 months to go to reach that goal.
I have been with my partner for almost 24 years and I'm very happy. We laugh a lot, and she has carried me
through the bad times, and set me down gently and allowed me to heal. Lots of laughter in this house. She should have been a comedienne, or, perhaps she was in another life ( I don't really believe that, but, still....)
I love reading, good shows and movies....good friends. Used to LOVE gardening, but once I'm on the ground, need help getting back up, so most of my gardening is now indoor plants and a few spinach and lettuce plants in boxes on the back porch.
I am a terrible traveler, sad to say. But the internet allows me to see things I would never have seen otherwise.
I am agnostic by nature. Was raised Catholic, left the church at 18. I respect people of all religions, so long as they respect me. If faith gets someone through a bad time, I am all for it. I know there is something out there greater than myself, and that's all I need to know.
In my younger life, I was a circulation manager and part time photographer for our city paper.
I have a brother who has pretty severe Parkinson's. My mother was adopted, so we have NO history on her side, but there MUST be some neurological problems there...
Happy to answer ANY and ALL questions if I skipped anything, which I probably did. Hard to put your life into a few paragraphs.
Hope this pleases
@Uncle Willie 
Have a wonderful day.
