Hello and intro

Hi I stumbled across this site today as I was killing a few minutes at work, this afternoon was rough with patients complaining and a couple of them ready to call an attorney... Well thats not why I am here.
I have married to my wife for 7 wonderful years, she has CP and utilizies a wheelchair and a service dog to help in mainting her independence, she put herself through community college and is only a few credits short of her BS in behvorial sciences from UofM Dearborn. She has worked very hard in the jobs she has had and is a very independent and strong woman.

The ward we live in now is the 2nd since we married, they are much more accepting of her than the last however the membership still seem to belive she is sickly she is much healthier than I am, The last ward treated her as if she was a china doll that would break if she was shaken. It is hard to feel part of the ward family (I was a member of the ward when it was orginized 30 years ago) my mother and one nephew are in the ward, I suppose every feels that anything we need will be taken care of by them. I suppose I have rambled on I am looking for any ideas on coping stratagies in the ward as it seems like we sit alone and leave and no speakes to us until the quick handshake the next sunday.
