How about wearing the ring on a chain around your neck?
I would advise you to 1. See a therapist. 2. Then go to a marriage counselor or have sessions with a minister/priest/etc. if you're religious.
IMAGINE if your wife was in your shoes. Would you get annoyed with her for dropping her cane? Is she at all educated about RSD? Argh!
You may need to consider hiring an inexpensive handyman to take over some of your old "duties." IF your wife and kids are capable, then let them. And didn't you post previously she got upset with you for painting? (It is a bad idea. You can further injure yourself and/or jeapordize your benefits.)
They will need time to adjust (therapy will help...) BUT, you deserve respect and compassion.

yes I did. she is affraid comp will take a picture and we will lose everything. As far as their education on RSD. she has never read anything regarding it. .. I have seen a therapist. and said I am not mentally unhealthy and see,s nothing he can offer.. ha!! as for my diet.. I eat small meals. breakfast an egg or a bowl of cereal(if i remember to eat it at all) lunch, lately it is simple sandwich and fruit. trying to get rid of cold cuts all together so its tuna or PB&J. dinner it is either pasta(small amount) and a fruit a little later or white meat such as pork or chicken with a generous green like salads, spinach green beens, and I snack on nuts fruits etc. with a serving of a no.no when its in the house.
this was a mental leak. I needed to get this down so I could see it and I wanted to share and figured this is the best place to do so.. thank you all for your input I appreciate the responses and connection.
I cannot seem to open up like this really face to face. I spend most of my energy trying to hide the pain . because when it shows every one gets.. well different and uncomfortable. which I of course immediatly pick up on.
Lit love... I am a religious person just really different from others. I dont believe their is a religion that best fits my beliefs. I thank each of you here very much you have all helped me keep it real and together. This forum is the best medicine . with out it I would probably curl up in a corner and disappear.
I try not to let the mind leak but it happens and when it does it comes out as it pops into my head(before I car sort it out and make sense of it) I believe it is time to find a therapist that will actually listen. the stress is piling up, the worry of tomorrow as well I can see that after reading this again and reading your responses. I just hope and pray that my wife is on board.. thanks again all . and I hope you all find tomorrow less painful and your cup overflowing with love and joy..
