Hi Patricia, I agree with everyone else. Please don't think you are not doing anything to help your husband. You are doing the most important thing people with chronic pain need, giving love and support. I don't know what I would do without my husband to lean on.

On another note, I'm concerned about you working 7 days/week and helping to care for your husband. Have you given any thought to having your husband apply for disability? If not do it now because it takes two years after you get disability for them to give you health insurance. If he can get disability it may help you with money. You may be able to get at least one day off.

Also, if he is willing see if your husband will browse through this site. It may give him some comfort to know he is not alone. Keep coming here. You will learn a lot from people who care and understand.
