CS,
My fiance actually feels very good physically and isn't on any medications, except meds for night spasms (as needed). She has minor dizzy spells and the rare headache, but otherwise, feels good. So the lack of interest doesn't come from that...but rather a fuzzy unfamiliarity about how to go about interacting sexually.

You are right though in your observation that in time we may get back to more normal intimacy, but if we don't, it won't matter, since we are blessed with the fact that our love for each other is the same if not greater than before the accident. "Love and Patience" has been our motto ever since day one for coping with everything, so we realize the power of being fortunate enough to have our relationship come out in tact.

There is no question in my mind about her devotion to me...it comes out every time she questions why I'm standing by her. To her, the most caring thing she can do for me is to "set me free" to enjoy life without her being a burden - what a sacrifice for her to think something like that! Man, if I had a nickle for evertime we had that debate...my burden would start the second we said goodbye. My response is that there is NO WAY I am giving up on her and as you noted, we are closer than ever in our committment to remaining a team in our fight to regain every ounce of her original self. We've come this far and we ain't quitting!!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts,
c-giver
