Praying for better health for you and for your Mom.  Staying single so far
for me is ok, even though it's been 12 years since my wife's unexpected
death.  Though it is not what I want and at the same time it is.  I don't
want to give up my memories of my wife, especially those momentos I have
of her around the house.  That is my quandry if I were to involve myself
in another relationship as those momentos would have to be put away as
I am sure it would bother her.  

Hoping all goes well with the catheter removal and your mobility.
