I hope your wife can manage at least some level of comfort through her remaining time. She is fortunate to have you. My hat is off to you.

In that case, planning and tinkering with bike and gear choices may be a pleasant diversion and a bit of a mental escape in a difficult situation. When that situation is over, I hope your subsequent touring provides you with some happy times.
