raliced!!! Thanks so much. Your input was so valuable, objective, and it makes so much sense. It is so hard to think logically when I am in the thick of things. I am pleased that I took the time and did not answer emotionally. Interestingly, the lack of emotion in my email is translating into a healthy detachment about the whole matter. I feel like I can go home and face them all with a broad smile across my face. Here is the final draft: "As you are recovering from your surgery, you may sleep in the master bedroom while you recuperate. Speedy recovery, RAI"
I specified how long: "while you recuperate". and I specified the reason for the switch: "As you are recovering from your surgery".
I am done over-analyzing now . Thanks again for looking out for me.
