I second what Helen says. Even if its nothing but a couple of hours - take some time for you before Tom comes home. Read a book, take a nap. I took the time to do absolutely nothing. I sat here in total silence of my living room and just enjoyed not hearing all the hospital equipment and heart monitors. That silence was the most beautiful sound.

I'm glad to hear that Tom is doing better smile
