Thanks to all. Naej, your message made me realize I should just let Mom take care of me (I'm going to need her to!) and not feel like I'm putting her or anyone out. I have always been very independent and can do a lot by myself. Not this time, but thankfully I am not 5 hours away from family and trying to get through this alone, or with crazy H around. It's going to be a couple more weeks before I have it done. I just hope it goes well with no complications. I sure don't need any more complications (lol).
Most of us really marry only once. First love endures, even unto our dying day. And we never really divorce.
