Terri       02/16/05 06:31 AM Edit Reply Quote BL Reged: 06/01/03 Posts: 3522 Ahh, putting socks on! That is so painful for me now so I can relate to that. My feet were freezing this morning (in the recliner) and I almost asked my husband if he would put my socks on my feet, but I was afraid he'd think I was crazy! I can do it, but it would really hurt. I feel for your husband ----with his friends. It really is an invisible handicap. If he were wearing a cast on his leg, people would be more sympathetic, but when you have back problems, no one can see it so they don't understand. When you turn down an offer to do something with your friends, they keep asking you, like they think it's only a temporary thing, and not something you deal with on a daily basis. It's very frustrating because you want to do things with your friends, but you are very limited to what you can do. That makes it so hard! I have gotten frustrated lately because my husband still expects me to do what I've always done. Over the weekend, he wanted me to go out of town to watch our son play in a golf tournament (meaning walk 18 holes on the golf course.) I didn't know whether to laugh or cry! Ever since he went to the doctor with me Monday and saw the MRI films, he has been muh more understanding. When he saw in black and white what my discs looked like and how one was touching the nerve, well .... let's just say that changed his attitude. Your husband is very fortunate to have you. Not every spouse would be so loving and supportive. My husband and one son are very active. They golf, play basketball, etc. I'm very afraid of our future together because I don't want to stifle what they can do. I feel like I'm going to be sitting at home a lot while they are involved in some activity. How do you and your husband manage? Is he confined to the house all of the time? Our youngest son is going off to college in the fall, and my husband and I will finally have some time just to ourselves. I was hoping we could travel, but right now, I can't even sleep in my own bed or walk down my own street. So I don't see us taking many trips together. Even riding in the car hurts! I don't mean to sound like I'm whining. I just need to work through this. This is therapy for me to put what I'm feeling down in writing. Thanks for listening! It is so nice to know someone who understands. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
