Robert, you take good care of Mrs. Dar and tell her I said I hope she has a speedy recovery. My wife had knee surgery a year ago so I can sort of relate to your predicament. I was in a little different situation, since I work out of the house I do almost all of the cooking and some cleaning, so that was not a change. Her short term disability was only a fraction of what she normally makes, so we missed her income. I ALMOST had to get a real job!
