[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 436215, member: 84"] (((hugs))) Mine did it too. It drove me nuts. Like Star I'm fiercely independent to begin with. To have to ask for help with anything nearly kills me especially if I'm sick or hurting. (and if husband does help me I never hear the end of it) Loose fitting pants or shorts helps with the pulling up with not so much effort it hurts thing. I hung out in pjs 90 percent of the time myself. It was easier....... easy child is wearing a pair of sister in law's old old old sweat shorts and a baggy tank top. Leg is broke, but the rest of her body is now screaming at her too. Trying to stand on crutches while maneuvering clothes can be interesting, at least until you get used to them. She's doing more falling than walking, which is ticking me off. That huge bandage is throwing off her balance. Ask doctor for better pain medications if what you have isn't cutting it. Are you having muscle spasms? If so.....ask for flexerol to help. Those make the pain TONS worse. And once you get nerves aggravated it can be really hard to calm them down again. So don't try to tough it out. If you're hurting, take your pain medications. That's what they're for. easy child and I had to have a heart to heart over this one. She called me yesterday to tell me I was right. lol Stubborn girl. You've had a very painful surgery. I can understand husband wanting to be acknowledged for helping, but honestly this is not about him right now. This is about you healing correctly so the surgery does what it is supposed to do. In the meantime he is just going to have to svck it up and deal. Maybe when you start feeling better he can have a day off to just do what he wants. I gave sister in law a few hours of fishing with darrin the other night. You concentrate on healing. Kuddos to Miss KT for stepping up and helping instead of making it worse. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
