Yeah, I have a hard time deciding what to do. They keep telling me I don't have to visit everyday, so I'm like, "Is this a hint??" But my sister didn't visit yesterday or call, and they were concerned. The drive isn't that far - only 4 miles. It's really not that big of a deal. But all you said is true - the anxiety everyday, the sudden jump/change, and planning when is best because I don't want to take time away from my husband. During the week I can go while he's at work, but... I almost didn't go yesterday but then felt uncomfortable about it. I'm just feeling really confused about what is best but am afraid every day is a bit much. Mom is doing a lot better but still a lot of pain from the cut and getting around is still hard. It'll take a lot of time to be up and walking again like usual. Just not sure what to do at the moment.

Thanks lizzyjb. I'm glad you got to visit with your parents. I wish you could see them more often. That would be good. Do you call them often?? That can help a bit at least. I know it's not the same, but it's better than nothing.
