When neighbors begin arriving for a spring party, their hostess slips upstairs to awaken her husband from a nap.
He is partway out of bed, flailing his right arm in the air, while his left side is not moving.
She bends down to hear him mumble through drooping lips, I can't get up.
As an ambulance rushes him to the hospital, this busy attorney and his wife of more than forty years have no idea they are boarding a roller coaster of medical crises, setbacks, hard decisions, disability.
