hang in there. and if veronica is willing, move in - that will allow you to rent the condo sooner. and if contractor does disappear you could put stuff in storage & rent condo while hoops to finish house are restarted.

my fingers are crossed for you on PT. you may need to stop or change weights, but find some way to work out... yoga, pilates, tai chi, running, cycling, whatever. i keep wanting access to a heated pool as that is the least painful exercise for me, but memberships are way out of my budget right now. i do stretch and walk as often as possible so i can keep dancing.
