Hi @Scoo totally hear you on the post injury post surgery pain - sending you hugs 🤗 first up !!!
my hip still pains me 2 years on from car accident and 1 year on from surgery ... I have had to find creative safe ways to do things without creating more pain than necessary... and I've had to be ok with saying I'm in pain to my doctors so I can get a pain management plan that works for me
however I am in pain every day and wake up in pain every day and can't do what I used to do easily and in many cases at all ... so I make the most of what I can do and focus on the joy and beauty of life wherever I can find it - art, music , books, good friends , my garden - esp flowers and colours - yep just colours ....
my partner MsS is sometimes not able to help at all and then we get into land of many workarounds and short cuts to compensate ... mostly she can help tho when I really need it - which is way less often now ...
maybe some of the others can help to suggest gentle ways to remind your partner that you didn't ask for this pain and you really appreciate their help and that you really need their help ... unless they will organise a nurse for you ? 🤷♀️
anyway thinking of you and feel free to reach out again - your wellness matters
