First, I'm sorry you went through such a difficult time - that must have been very scary.
As for the question of whether W should have been there - she was in a pretty tough spot. After all, when she left, your diagnosis was pleurisy - painful but not serious. (I'm guessing that this diagnosis changed with your second hospitalization?). Meanwhile, her mother was recovering from a life-threatening condition.
If I was in a similar spot, and knew that my H's mother was there taking good care of him, while no one else would step up to the plate to care for my mom? It would be a tough decision.
So - I guess what I'm saying is, trying to second-guess that decision now probably isn't fair.
On the other hand - I doubt you'd even be asking this question if everything else was right in the R - correct? So, what was happening with you two BEFORE you got sick? How were things this past fall?
