Props to you for doing this AMA! My husband has SMA type 2 as well, we've been together 34 years and have 2 grown kids. He's a writer, who went from using a pen, to pecking on a keyboard with a pencil, through the whole development of Dragon voice recognition. He also uses a mouth joystick for both his computer and his power chair. Have you done any research into further adaptive equipment so you can continue your art as you lose muscle? If so, what would you love to have?

If you choose some of the "wild" ones on OP's list, you've said, "I listened to you and care about what you really want." That's pretty fucking romantic. You can add points by sending them to work, where her friends can see she got flowers. It doesn't have to be a big arrangement, but think hard about what to write on the card, and write it yourself.

Just to add: SMA doesn't affect sensation. Nor erectile function, in males, for those who may be wondering.

Wait, is my heart on the wrong side!? Righty is bigger, firmer, and made more milk.
