Ya’ll, this is going to be a long 6 weeks. Yeah, 6-8 weeks, not 4-6 weeks like I originally thought. I feel so bad for Scott. He’s really in pain. And honestly, I don’t think I’ve seen him in serious pain like this in the 12 years we’ve been together. But gosh, he can’t do too much. He needs help getting up from the couch, pulling the lever on the recliner, eating, drinking, getting his pills, getting all the remotes/phones for him, buttoning/zipping pants. Haven’t even tackled getting his shirt off and getting showered and dressed yet. As of now, I’m being a trooper (no pun intended!) but after 6 weeks of this?! I know this isn’t all about me but I’m going to need some prayers for some patience and compassion.
Hope things are improving at your house! He sounds like me when I had Olivia. BEcause the birth was so bad (full 12 hour labor, 3 hours of pushing AND a c-section) I pretty much was incapable of doing ANYthing and whenever I did do something I was crying from the pain. Fortunately my mom was there to help for the first couple of weeks. Is there any way that another family member can come help you out?
