She's just got back from the Physioterrorist, and she has exercises to do five times a day, has to sleep with a rolled towel tied round her tummy, and ... has been banned from the sofa. She's currently sitting in her office chair with a rolled up towel behind her for lumbar support, and with her feet flat on the floor.
This, she doesn't like. So everyone annoying on the TV is getting a barrage of foul language at high volume. Since everyone on TV is an annoying Elephanting sunshine that is out to get her, I'm not getting a lot of peace and quiet... 
I'd use earplugs, but she'll just raise the volume until they don't work either. 
Reminds me of working in a cube farm!

From the sound of things, there are "other things" she probably can't do at this time.
I suggest you get a rental to replace her until the repairs are completed. Probably the least painful path for all concerned (unless she finds out?)

I think not.
She's a wife, they know everything. And the discussion would likely involve a cheese grater and a red hot poker...

She doesn't have to wear the "cone of shame" I hope!

She should consult yogi.
Stealing a pic-a-nic basket would cheer her up no end.

Hah there are benefits to having a dedicated office in the house, a door for starters!
I, thankfully, used to have the ability to exclude all distractions when I'm working including ranting wife, screaming children and droning TV. I loved working from home.

The only thing to do at times like this is to pack her off to see her mother.

Her mother passed away 20 years ago!

Mr brother, he of the rotting brain, was blue lighted into A&E yesterday for breaking the thermometer. It looks like they have the fever under control and he'll pull through but it will be hard thanks to his Republican Nomination Process* of an immune system.
All thanks the Cancer, the biggest bastard killer out there. Feck you cancer! Feck you and the horse you rod in on!

Any words I would use to describe Cancer would get my account closed.

You said this much better than I could.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

'Tis not a nice time for the family. His elder is about to sit her finals and younger her A levels. Both our parents are ill with mostly age related problems. Our other brother hasn't spoken to him in nearly 10 years.
Life are hard.

There is never a good time for stuff like this, but I hope the kids can rise above their sorrow (and probably anger and all the other emotions that come to the fore at times like these) and succeed in their exams. As to the lack of communication from your other brother, well, families can be like that unfortunately.
I feel such frustration at not being able to do anything more than just wish him (and you and your parents) well. All I can do actively is donate to various research charities but it feels so inadequate. The fact that there are more and more cures being found for the various kinds of cancer is no relief at all to the grieving of those (of us) who have lost family and friends to the ***** thing, and no great relief either to those currently suffering the disease.
I hope the good wishes you are receiving here, knowing that others care, eases your pain a little.

Life is full of challenges, so enjoy the good days and ferget the bad days.
Think about it: in many countries is war, or they even have dentists or doctors, but diseases as Ebola. Even in the USA you can get victims of a crime or an car accident. 
Press F1 for help or google it.

Having lost my father to cancer, I know how it feels.
Cancer is [REDACTED] its [REDACTED] [REDACTED]. [REDACTED] disease.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Getting old is a complete PITA, my older brother had a massive heart attack last week after getting his latest shunt for stage 4 cancer. Doctors can't do anything but give him meds for pain relief. I hope he dies soon, he can't stand being bed ridden with no prospect of recovery.

Silly me, but how is that comic strip read? Left to right and then top to bottom? Or top to bottom and then left to right?
Each time I read one I'm not entirely sure what the proper order is. One doesn't make more sense than the other. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
