I can definitely relate to what you're going through, I think a lot of us are in a similar situation with not being able to do the things we normally do for the holidays and not having much money to spend because of our wonderful WC system. I'm sorry to hear that your husband isn't much help....that sure makes it rough. I went through that years ago when I had a lower back injury in a car accident & my husband was no help at all.....which was pretty much "the straw that broke the camel's back" & I divorced him.....the best decision I ever made!! Anyway....I guess what my point is....things will get better. Hang in there!
