It's been about a week and half since...
I pulled ligaments in my lower back...
I am going crazy with the pain meds and back brace. I miss my Cathercizing sessions immensely...It always helps me with stress.
My DH works weekends, so it's just been him and I home during the week...Usually, you would think oh, how nice, we'd be able to spend some quality time together, right? No way, we were driving each other absolutely crazy...
My DH hates that I can't do very much lifting or stretching, which limits things, like shoveling, vaccuming, etc. He doesn't like taking care of anyone really.
My two teenagers are life savers, as they have been able to help me out in some aspects, like getting some wood for the woodstove and shoveling.
Yesterday, he had to go to a training class for another type of certification for his job, he will be gone for a week. I actually felt relieved, to have a little breathing room.
Is this normal? (We've been married for a little more than 15 years).

I think it's pretty normal besides he's probably used to you carrying the load as far as housework, etc that he feels like it's a strain on him. I know it doesn't seem quite fair but it just seems to work that way. My brother on the other hand, waits on my sister-in-law hand and foot. It's a family joke that they only made one like him - and how "sick" they make us.:7 They've been married 25 years. Ugh, huh? Hang-in-there, it's stressful on both when the other is down.
