I am so sorry this happened. I would be ripping it out - do you have any friends that could come and help for a hour or two? I know I have at least one that I could call on to help me. That would make the time go a little faster and you could get caught up with your friend. I'm always trying to find time with a friend... Just a thought. If you lived closer, I'd come and help you :-)
Get the seam ripper out, settle into a good movie/show and start ripping. Sorry....
