Thank you, Greeneyedlass, I'd not thought of the angle you mention on the emotional vs. physical intimacy and our respective medical issues. That's a good point, and one which I should be sure to stress.
Of course, right now my wife seems to be playing the "mother" role towards me...bathing me, adjusting my brace as required, bringing my food out to my chair, driving me to and from work on the days I don't work from home, etc. Somehow I have to change her focus back to the "friend/companion/lover" role. It may very well be easier once I have somewhat more mobility and don't need her help as much.
I wish I had your confidence, but I suppose I'll have to make up for that with determination.
