I see him almost everyday ... had his knee taken care of, and is outside quite a bit now, moving slow but getting around ok. I will keep checking though if he doesn't seem to be getting out, and I'm sure his wife will say something if need be.
I've pulled myself out of the game and sitting on the bench .... at one time I thought I knew the signs and hints and all that goes into meeting other people, but I guess not anymore .... perhaps we need signs around our necks saying " No BS .... Just Tell Me ".
Yesterday morning, my neighbor called me at 6:00 am as I was leaving for work. She said her husband was having trouble getting into his walker and asked if I could come over and help him get up. He's 75. I walked over, and he was in their bedroom, sitting on the floor, half dressed. Apparently he had something happen to his knee and was having trouble moving. His wife couldn't lift him or help him up.
When I walked in, he looked up at me ..... a look of embarrassment, helplessness, and maybe a little relief that someone was there to help him. I helped him up and held him, his wife finished dressing him, and we walked him to his chair in the living room.
I felt sorry for him I guess. He's a good guy, always working, always waves and says hi. I don't know why I've thought about this for 2 days. Maybe its a fear of being in that situation if I live to that age. Maybe it's a reminder to do more for others when the opportunity is there. Maybe its life saying "Old age sucks .... enjoy it now". Who knows. But I hope I'm gone before I'm helpless and a burden to others.
I guess I'm wondering how others look at getting old .... with fear, expectation or something else.
Can you clarify what you want a man for before I jump in here? Just making sure you're not into weird lab experiments involving us poor, helpless creatures, or anything like that.
