here's wishing your wife the best. hope she heals fast. and here is a true story about ones spouse, caring for them while they're sick. ....I worked with this guy, and he said a few years before he had a job driving a coal truck, and they had to climb up on top and tarp the load he was hauling, and he fell off the top of the truck and broke both ankles and arms at the same time. he told me he was at his wife's mercy. he said she had to do it all for him. he told me it stripped him of all the pride he ever had.
