Todd Stabelfeldt couldn’t wait to marry his tall, beautiful, blonde wife Karen four years ago. But he was adamant that he didn’t want her taking care of him.”A spouse should be your spouse. Your lover and your friend. Not a free caregiver,” said Stabelfeldt, 38.Stabelfeldt is a complete quadriplegic with no movement below his shoulders, but he takes every opportunity he can to find independence including in his marriage to Karen, 48.
“With being a husband and a dad, you just want to be able to provide and do what you can,” said Stabelfeldt, who has two step sons, three dogs and one cat (he likes to remind his family that he’d rather they get rid of the latter). “Even though in certain areas, at least physically speaking, you can’t really move much,” he said.
Stabelfeldt’s cousin accidentally shot him in the jaw when he was eight years old, severing his spinal cord.
