I know raliced and others have succeeded in maintaining relationships with ILs, but my ILs are really nasty people. I would hope to never have to see them again.
It's true that I have a good relationship with my ILs and that I encourage others here to do the same, but that is with the caveat that the ILs are good people who aren't sure how to behave. That's not the case with you. You're doing the right thing by keeping them at polite arms length.

Frankly, I don't believe W when she says she can't return to her room. I think she is savoring having MB all to herself and will make a grab for even more time in MB. I want my room back. Any suggestions on how to approach it?
When does she have her follow up appt? That should be when the restrictions are officially lifted. You're a doctor - can you ask an ENT colleague what the standard recuperation time is for whatever was done?
