My names is John, am 63 years of age am living alone now. After living with agreat companion for the last 26 years. he passed away in September of last year. We shred everything.

 

What do i plan to do after I post this? Check my Facebook Page then go  to bed for a few hours.I normally wake up about 10 pm to let my two cats come and eat.

 

I will then get on the computer for about the next 3 hours then go back to bed until 5 am

 

What's the last nice thing someone did for me? On Wednesday I was at the Doctor's surgery when she called my name out I had trouble geting out of my seat. A young lady came to my rescue and helped me up. Last November I did both knees in.. I had to wait 5 months to see the Orthpedic surgeon at Dubbo Base Hospital The interns go me up on the bed and they twisted both legs  around so that they coul;d find where the pain was.  They took notes of what i did in the 5 months prior to this. thry then went an saw their superior. The surgeon came back with them. he said John i will show you your X Rays he showed me where the tears were in my knees but are mending very well he then showed me another spot on my knees and said that is arthritis At this stage John their is no need for surgery or phisio you have looked after yourself very well in the last 5 months. I am not anticipating to operate on your knees until another 15 years. but if anything does go wrong come back and see me.

 

What am i thankful and grateful at present that is I have a roof over myn head.

 

My ideal Saturday night is that i go to Church at 5. 30pm then go back home cook my dinner then go to bed.

 

What can you do to help me on these forums make new friends.

 

My number one goal is to be gainfully employed again and to travel somewhere just to get out of Dubbo for a few days.

 

number one tip for boosting my mood? To do something that other people are afraid to do i can be simple, it can be small, Doesn't matter whatever it is I will do it.

 

What was the last song I listened to I have 1,000 33 rpms so take your pick

Hi there @Hunter63 - nice to meet you! 1000 records is very impressive, I know some music lovers who would be very jealous of that collection 🙂

 

Just so you know, Reach Out is primarily aimed at people under 30 so some of the information might be a little young but you're certainly welcome to check it out! There are some articles here on how to meet new friends and also some info on dealing with grief and loss. I'm sorry to hear about your companion, I can't imagine how tough that must be to deal with.

@redhead icing solves all the problems! Takes a little practise is all 🙂 Also, congratulations on the move!! That's great that you're into exercise, it really is a great and healthy mood booster.

@EloiseRose of course it's okay to have some chocolate 😄 A new bed? I heard it was cozy, sounds amazing. I tried some special wine the other day, it was terrible! But a milestone for me, I've never had alcohol before (except for an unfortunate experience with spiked orange juice 😞 I really like orange juice but thankfully I only took a sip). 

 

1. What do you plan to do next after you post this?

Continue going through the new messages. Still have five more tabs open!


2. What's the last nice thing someone did for you?

Got driven to the station. It's the little things that matter.


3. What are you thankful/grateful for at the moment?

Same as last month, for the turn my life has taken. 🙂


4. What does your ideal Saturday night look like?

Oh that also hasn't changed. Being calm, relaxed and happy. 


5. What can we do to help you have a great experience on the forums?

Just keeping on growing. As a community, a family, as support, just keep on growing. ❤️


6. What's one goal you'd like to acheive in 2015?

Living life to the fullest for sure! I only have a year and a lot to experience!


7. Number one tip for boosting your mood?

At the moment, the Transformers soundtrack is really getting me going. But also watching Rescue Bots, seriously amazing. I get all fangirly and giddy. If anyone ever watches me watch these shows they'd probably be laughing, or sniggering under their breath so I don't notice. 😉


8. What's the last song you listened to? (post youtube clip)

It changed to a new song just as I got to this question! So I'll post both 😄

This was the previous one (Transformers 1 - Bumblebee Captured - Steve Jablonsky)

 

and the current one

(Transformers 1 - You're a Soldier Now - Steve Jablonsky)
