Mine has MS, primary progressive. Took her to PT earlier today and she had her walker, but fell in the hall before I could catch her.
I thank God for every day we have together.

You and your wife have my complete understanding and sympathy. My wife fell, experienced periods of blindness and other symptoms.

Even though the last few years my wife was totally bedridden and was unable to move her extremities, I'd give anything to have her back. I would get angry with her for not being angry. From cane, to walker, to wheelchair to fancy air bed. She was the most courageous and stoic person I've ever known. I thought after all the years that I had prepared myself for her passing, but I was wrong. It has been nearly six months, and in my logical mind I know the hurt won't be so bad in the years to come, but it certainly hasn't lessened so far.

If there were but one word of advice I could give to all married couples, it would be "CHERISH".
