It's letting you know that you have some months yet before it's
all better.  Be careful when you help her... don't want to tear
things again...  Hope you both are better real soon...!

Every family works out their own best system.  :)  I grew up
with my dad coming home from teaching college (or doing physics
research at a navy lab) and grabbing some of the kids to do the
shopping.  Freed Mommy up from having so many kids at home, and
gave her a little break... or at least less distractions when
she was trying to teach piano.

We've been a bit spoiled, as Wegmans has really good stuff
already prepared, either fresh or frozen, along with the
choices for making your own.  We don't get too much of the
ready-made, though, as it does get a bit price-y.

 ->

Perhaps the wonders of the tami-flu backfired for her.  She
felt too well, so didn't realize that the body was as weakened
as it still was...  Guess she should have taken another day or
two to recover before going back into school.
