This is interesting. My 7 children are grown and my life still feels like chaos. My husband had surgery a couple months ago and I injured my knee while he was in hospital. We just took a vacation together in a place where I would normally hike, canoe, and camp. We were forced to sit around and do nothing. It was very difficult.
