My H works his full schedule in 3 days each week. He is home 4 days per week. It took awhile to get used to; yet, we like it. It is tough though, at times, as I cannot keep up with him. Sometimes, I just need a nap!
I do understand where you are coming from, feeling like you need more space.
We are in the same situation, falling through the cracks, not eligible for aid, yet drowning in medical/dental.
I do claim my disability income, which helps some.
My pdoc just retired and he's keeping his office for awhile. Why? He said he's not sure his wife is ready to have him at home 24/7. Insightful guy. Am glad he has the option of keeping his office.
I hope you are fully recovered from your surgery now?
I also hope things work out for your family.
