Hugh,
My younger son, 35, had his hip joint "merely" relined last winter. After 6 years of pain and nasty meds, he is finally getting some much-deserved relief from the situation. I guess what I'm saying is hang in there, when the problems are sorted out it will be way better than before, better days ahead! We admire your patience and sense of responsibility to your Honey, and wish the best for her. I agree with Bill, your priorities are in the right place; do what she needs and don't stress the backlog. Plenty of time for that later!
