@A myHIVteam Member. I agree with everything you said. Just wanted to add...
When the damage stops, the repairs begin. We are alive, and self repairing. ❤️
I heard that in our modern age as far as medical & technological advances are going , that in our decade, the USA is going to achieve what would normally take 50 years, only 10. That said though, when I asked my pcp he said we should have a cure but probably not for those already with the virus. I still havent asked my specialist Brad so thanks for the reminder to do so
@A myHIVteam Member - I met my partner when he was 70yrs old (I was 42). Our entire 18 year relationship has taken place for him after the age you are now. If you think he is especially robust, I have seen him through 3 joint replacements, and more melanoma surgeries than I can remember. Still, it has been the best time of my life. Life isn't over at 70, it's not over at 88. Today is his birthday 🥳 🎂🎉
@A myHIVteam Member. I'm sorry you were so traumatized by life. How many times can you be kicked to the ground before you no longer wish to get back up(?).
They say that the two factors affecting "happiness" are health, and interpersonal relationships. Both are subjective. It's how you feel about your health that matters. You could be struggling with HIV, but still optimistic about your health. I think many of us fit that description.
It's also about how you feel about your interpersonal relationships. You may not have someone to share your bed, but conversation online with people who value your input is not without benefit. I value your input. I read everything you write. I will do my best to support you for as long as you continue to post.
"Growing old is not for sissies," my father used to say. But, growing old has come to us sissies, too. Stick around, and do it with us.🥸🤓🤔😌😎🙄🤠🥳
