Great advice all around. I'll add that the fitness tracker has the added bonus of making you want to meet your "goals" on the tracker, which can sometimes be the difference between me taking a healthy walk or not. As for choosing a supportive partner, I've found that it gets easier as I get older. Age matures people and gives them patience. I'm also lucky to have a partner who has also experienced serious health issues, so he truly understands at a deep level. Finding him took time, probably more time than a healthy person would spend looking for a partner. But I am grateful every day that I didn't give up the search.
