My wife is recuperating from extensive back surgery, I will be there to help until she is able to drive herself to physical therapy, after which I have to return to Mexico if we expect to find much of a house left. They will keep her in therapy for two months, after which she will return to Mexico for another eight to 10 months of therapy.

I told the hospital to get her back here within a week of the surgery because there were two cords of firewood she needed to split and carry up the stairs. They were not amused.
