Thanks, Cyn. And everyone who read this post, whether you responded or not, we really appreciate it.
SD is not a physically painful condition. Just some discomfort, and a lot of frustration. We make the best of it. During her worst days, QW communicates with American Sign Language (I'm not that conversant. She and the kids have animated conversations while I sit relatively clueless... there's a "dumb old dad joke in there, somewhere) and a dry erase board. She actually attracts quite a bit of attention when she whips the board out in a restaurant, or at a family gathering. She's a pretty cool lady.
