Sad to say it, but being isolated was probably one of the reasons my mom divorced my dad way back when. He owned a farm, middle of nowhere - and she was left isolated, it not being her decision.
I'm sorry about your ankle and your husband. If I could, I'd come and visit and straighten him out for you.
sorry, i'm not very useful - but I'm sad to see my friend hurting like this.
