Thanks for coming to this page.
Here we are again 3 ½ years later (January 29, 2004). As I said before my stroke left me with internal damage with no changes. I still cannot feel hot or cold sensations on my right side from chest high down to my toes. My right side still has the burning sensation 24 hours a day from the top of my head to my toes. My energy level is a lot better and I can do more things for a longer duration of time. One reason for this is that I have learned to pace myself when doing physical things and can go for a longer time limit. I still cannot make fast moves because I still have the dizziness when ever I try to make those fast moves. But as before I just still tolerate it.
A lot of things have changed in my life over the last 3 ½ years and since my last update. While living at my sisters I met a wonderful lady on the internet. “Yes I did say the INTERNET”. Her name is Jeanne. We chatted for about 6 months before meeting in person. We met finally at a local place, danced several dances, and had a great time. It all started by her doing a search of the local area on ICQ chat. My Handle was chevyman and she said “hmmm I think I will check this person out”. Come to find out we lived around the corner from each other for the 15 years when I lived at my former house in Penn Valley, California. In between that time I moved to Roseville, California to my apartment. But we still chatted and dated. We got closer during the year I was in Roseville, California. She lived in an apartment in Grass Valley, California. She would visit me in Roseville and I would visit her in Grass Valley. In December of 2001 Jeanne bought a home in Smartville, California near Penn Valley. She asked me if I wanted to cohabitate and of course I said yes. So I moved from Roseville to Smartville. Well the rest is history as the saying goes. We both are adventurous and have visited and traveled to a lot of places. On my picture page #3 is of our travels and us. Recently I purchased a 19’ travel trailer and we look forward to using it.
My son Tim and daughter-in-law Jamie now live in Tempe, Arizona. He is out of the army and trying to make a life there. Plus I am now a grandpa, they had a baby girl November of 2002. She is a little over a year old now.
My stepdaughter Charlene has made a big change in her life also. She is now on her own and living in a new city. She now has a new friend in her life. His name is Jerry. Jeanne and I have met him and think he seems to be a wonderful person. They seem happy together.
To conclude, let me say that I am totally content with my life and where I am. As to any challenges I have encountered in my life it is still the same. I hit it head on and just deal with whatever comes my way.
