No offense whatsoever...
...And your kind remarks are appreciated.
That aside, my wife is relatively stable, can work at her pharmacist's job, and can walk about on her own (usually with a cane.) A wheelchair makes long distances easier, like trips to the mall. There are many worse cases.
And Dan is right...despite this she STILL has to put up with me, and it ain't easy!
Don't think any of this means you have to keep the gloves on. ;)
