Both my wife, Sharon, and I took the “in sickness and in health” wedding vow seriously and have been able to keep it very well, even though I’m in a wheelchair and she’s had some back problems.
But when we both got a rough case of the flu at the same time and neither of us could help the other, all bets were off.

During cool spring and fall weather, friends and neighbors gather around Tom’s fire pit down by his lake dock almost every Friday night. Some arrive by car, some by boat and some, meaning me, by wheelchair.

Although my current age of 55 means I’m no longer a young pup, it doesn’t mean I’m a mangy mutt, either. And even though I’m now considered a senior, I sure don’t feel or act like one. And my wife agrees. She says I have more of a sophomoric sense of humor and a junior highish level of maturity.

Sometimes, I imagine my life is a sitcom. I’m the star of the “Wheelchair Lucy” show.
My husband, Jim, doesn’t have a Spanish accent. However, like Ricky Ricardo, he does shake his head a lot and exclaim, “Oh, Lucy, not again!”

I’m convinced that I could easily produce a full season of episodes based on my experiences. One could feature me at the swimming pool.
