Cappytan, you are right to take your time. But take care of yourself too. Remember in emergency situations the rescuer sees to himself first .( he puts the air mask on in plane crash, before he starts to help others.)
If you are not healthy, you can't help your family.
Take care.
ps I agree with WMF. It is not cool. Next time call in sick or stay home and nurse your wife.
