Nicki,

Sorry to hear about Tom's extended stay at the hospital. I can tell you are a bit lonely over it and I can't help but think of my wife during my hospital stays. Like Bob is telling you, take a little time for yourself to keep recharged so you can do all you want and need to do for Tom. If I may offer a suggestion, when you spend a bit of time for yourself, try to find something a little more fun and relaxing than a root canal laugh .

Best wishes and praying for healing for Tom and comfort and peace for both of you.
