Everyone here is right - there is much to be thankful for in being part of a Union. My DH Tim was a GM employee all his life - only job he ever had - and was very involved in the Union (Union Rep and then Chairman). They take care of their own. Even though GM itself could have been better to me it was the Union workers who helped the most when he passed away.
I hope things are looking better for you and that you are slowly but surely getting your strength back. A trip like you took would take it's toll on even the healthiest of people - give yourself some time and let Tim and your boys pull the weight. You deserve a break - let them help. Or. . . . you could get up and try to do some laundry - that might make you feel better (a suggestion my own DH gave to me once when I had the flu!!!!
