Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Well for the longest time I would minimize my arthritis and impending surgery when first meeting a woman. I try to take as best care of myself as possible with phy therapy, body work, yoga, supplements etc.I choose sports where i felt fully functional like river boating and bike riding. I popped lots of ibuprofen before dancing or in new social situations. I felt lucky to connect with women despite my limitation,but I am now un-coupled now and looking at surgery in 51/2 weeks. Sure would be nice to have someone to be close with now. I feel blessed with wonderful friends who offer and extend their TLC. I do miss the intimacy though especially as surgery approaches. I am sure I will survive and all. I know people do it on their own just fine. That being said I was wondering if people have dated before and through and after surgery . how does the partner accept this limitation in the other. or do you feel it is a time to just shut down your dating desire and focus on healing. maybe we need a surface hippy dating surface. 51 yr old single, previously active male with limp seeks woman with scar . or hip mixers : friends with scars and those who love them are invited to mingle with members of the tribe yummies include: glucosamine goulash, organic salad with turmeric dressing, wild salmon and ginger sauce activities include: show us your scar, you rub mine I'll rub yours , limp the night away, or it hurt so bad. or supplement share, healing exchange, cartilage regeneration visualization, bring on the stem cells. thanks and good healing. , bay area, calif.
