In February, I (husband), contracted a bacterial infection from Salmonella that attacked my spinal cord. I had emergency neurosurgery to remove the infection and was placed on antibiotics. The surgery was successful, but I woke up a paraplegic from the belly button down.
I’ve spent the last three months in inpatient rehab, trying to regain sexual function and my ability to walk unfortunately, I’m still in a wheelchair, but I have recently regain the ability to get erections and ejaculate.
This whole chapter in our lives has been extremely rough for the Mrs. and I, but the lifestyle has always been the community for us. Does anybody have any experience with interacting with couples trying to navigate a disability?
Hey OP, not sure why you put special formatting (I think the code block?), but it makes it really hard to read the post.
Anyway, on to your question....just because we've never seen it doesn't mean it's unheard of. If the LS has been your community and you want to stay in, lean into it.
Things will be different obviously and you're still very early in the process, but I would think about what you can do and lean into that. Depending on your means, you might consider hosting more often, maybe even hosting parties, so that you're home with any adaptations you need.
I'm sure you're already embracing this mindset, but try to focus on what you can do rather than what you can't, be upfront with people and I think you'll find that there are all types for all types in the LS.
