Hello everyone,
I'm new to the site and to forums, so please bear with me if I get this wrong. I've been home from hospital three days and like everyone else on the site I'm finding the pain can be almost unbearable at times especially in bed at night.
Although I feel I'm coping well, my husband is constantly nagging me to get out and get some proper exercise before I seize up.
He's very good about fetching and carrying for me and doesn't mind me have a rest but just can't accept that going for a walk around the park or 'getting out and doing something' won't do me more good than sitting around in the house. Nor can he believe it will take more than a couple of weeks for recovery.
I feel he is being more of a hindrance than a help to my recovery and must admit I have snapped at him a couple of times. Has anyone else had a similar reaction from their other half?
