Hi, EJ, sweetie!
One thing that comes to mind is that you are feeling down because of the injury to your ankle, which is major, and limiting you physically as you recover! I am wishing you a fast successful recovery!
I agree with Pat in all she has said. It sounds like YOUR property first and foremost, though if it was purchased in both your names, this may be a sticking point in any sale, thoiugh I suspect a sharp lawyer with prior legal work could assist you in this!
Like Pat, I also live in a small town, close to doctors and hospitals, and have three cats and two doggies. It can be managed!
Love,
Patty
