An interesting question, TracyA. My first thought was that, having witnessed his wife's recovery, his happiness and passion would be so strong that initiating sex wouldn't be a problem. But it sounds like you're wondering whether he will ever get over having seen her so weakened, and will he always be afraid that she is somehow too fragile for sex. 

 

Bodies are amazing things in their adaptability and their resilience. It may well be our minds that need more retraining!

Here's a link to an organization based in the UK called The Outsiders. They're a group of disabled people working on issues of disability and sexuality.

On their front page is a list of their goals, and the first one is "Work together to campaign for the acceptance of disabled people as sexual partners"
