I don’t want to end up permanently disabled. I’m already bored af.
RS has been so good to me. He took off work to drive me to my appointment yesterday. Today he fixed my door, put a new chain lock on, and put up a light over the sink because I had previously complained it was too dark to do dishes at night. He’s so thoughtful. He also bought me the heating pad on Sunday after the ER doc recommended it. He treats me so well for someone I’ve only been seeing for three and half months. I am thankful to have him in my life.

I'm sorry hun; I am currently dealing with someone dealing with a back issue as well. It looks extraordinarily painful. I am glad you have RS with you to help with you and the kiddo; it's hard being down.
Can I offer a small tip that you don't have to take; a lot of times with any sort of injury medical providers will tell you to alternate between ice and heat; otherwise constant heat can inflame it more; so they recommend alternating between ice; heat; followed by more ice. I totally understand that heat feels so nice but ice is important too. When my mother had her hip replaced they only gave her ice and no heat.
