I'm still alive!

I haven't written anything for ages, but I am still alive. Last year was nuts.  My partner of 19 years, partner and carer too, went on holiday and didn't come back.  She only told me she was leaving me when she should have been home.  So that took a bit of getting over.  I'm okay now though.  Though I could really have done without an extra health problem.  A really painful hip finally sent me to see the GP.  She prodded and felt, and sent me for a xray.  At least my hip is fine; it's referred pain.  Spondylosis of lumbar spine and it's so sore.  I always thought I would have to get a stairlift, but because of my multiple sclerosis.  The stairs are so difficult, painful and exhausting at the moment.  To get up them and down.  First stage tomorrow.  The gas meter is getting moved.  So if the road is dug up tomorrow, it's my fault.  Outside my house that is, not everywhere in the UK.  And there's a certain New York man I'm really rather fond of...
