Scribbler-Mike, what a great post you made. I admire the obvious tenderness, committment and love you have for your wife, and she of you.
I've been thinking about Pinnochio's 'challenge' to write a story with a disabled person as lead character. I've started one, it started quickly, without a problem or notion that the disability needed explaination. Talking with a friend who is in a wheelchair she gave me some real issues and questions to consider. (Thank you to that friend).
What my mind did with some of those questions is come up with more, of course! I started thinking about the disabilities we don't see with our eyes. Or the disabilities that might be emotional in nature too.
I guess I've gone a bit outside the scope of Pinnochio's intent for the thread - sex, to consider how we even get to the point of considering having sex with another - whether you're the disabled partner or not. There is so much to contend with for me.
Anyway, Pinnochio I am trying to write a story and while it will take time I think I will learn so much. So, thanks for the challenge.
