To Introduce Me to You
Watch this postHello To Introduce myself: I am Dave, recently I have become a professional bum (retired) and I just joined in the hopes of finding a companion for my travel adventures. I noticed that a lot of the folks here are already in Europe. Ha Ha so I am one of the US folks that travels to Europe or to places unknown. I am very adventuresome and open minded about the adventure. So I am looking forward to hearing and sharing. Also advice on how the SilverSurfers site works... I did surf growing up in California, but my stick was yellow-white not silver. Ha Ha Thanks 🙂 🙂

I do try not to let mine know what a struggle it can be, because I want them to come and see a cherry smile not the grumpy old devil I'm turning into. I can remember my dad was always in pain and we just got used to his grumbles and let him get on with it as we had really known nothing else, and I think that is how it is really.
Speaking for myself the "Old lady" phase has started far too soon and taken me by surprise big time. I'm not quite 60 and had to retire early due to health problems and pain. Never for 1 minute expected to be alone and with restricted mobility so soon, as my life has always been so active and I loved to party and socialise.
I've not given up yet, so I hope to be back on the dance floor eventually without having to use too much WD40 ! May your creaks become less.
I'm sure if you felt your mum had really needed you then you would have willingly done more. Don't get me wrong we didn't leave my dad high and dry, but what I meant was we began to accept that he was always in pain.
I know exactly what you mean about booking things in advance as how can you predict how your pain/health problems are going to be.
At least we still have our sense of humour though.
