..I drove my husband to Seattle...let him out at the door of UW for cancer surgery. Then I went back to the hotel and stayed there for 3 days...where I was the only guest there. Didnt even have maid service. I got a kitchenette and packed in all my food. The day of the surgery the Dr called to tell me my husband LIVED through surgery and would be dx in 2 days.

So until COVID is contained this is how it will be. The hospital staff cant afford to get sick. They are all we have to keep us the rest of us alive.

I hope your wife is doing well.
