1993 brought the 3rd wedding, and an empty nest. Doug married the sister of Curtis' wife. In other words, brothers married sisters. My sister also had 2 sons who married sisters. It makes for a pretty close-knit family with the in-laws.
At time of the photo, my MS had progressed to the point of my using an orthodic, on occasion, for foot drop. And, I used a cane—for balance—mainly so strangers would be aware that I had a problem and wouldn't be so concerned about my staggering. But, I could still hold my own at the restaurant, for the most part. I had to slow down, and compensate here and there for some rather strange incidents. But, I attended two different MS support groups, and was learning some good coping skills.
Hugs!

Love the wedding pictures. So you used an orthodic a cane but do you still?
Beautiful picture. Sounds like why I use a cane. I'm like Lois and wondering if you ever use a cane now?
I use my cane rarely. It is for balance purposes only, any more. I only used the orthodic occasionally, but haven't needed it since we moved from the Wichita house, in 1997. YAY!
