Be sure and stay on that soapbox all you want! There is no doubt that many of us would easily admit that our path was made smoother because of wonderful women like you! As tough as it gets, Harry is much better off because of your persistence and perserverance.
A lingering infection is a sign of your immune system asking for more rest and nourishment for you. I hope you have some friends or family nearby that can jump in and give you at least a moment of prolonged rest. Hang in there.
