[quote=Anonymous]I am a SAHM with chronic pain and autoimmune disease.  I am really thankful about how great my husband is because he has always supported me and never once been angry with my situation.  He works full time and will do the morning breakfast, pack lunches and drop off the kids to school.  He does not wake me in the morning because he wants me to get as much rest as I can. If I am up in the morning then it means I am doing better and then I take care of things.

This was not a health situation I thought I would have to go through with in my life. Being a control freak and then depending on others is very humbling.

OP, I have outsourced a lot of things. My twice a week cleaning lady does more than cleaning. She organizes, declutters, helps in food prep, laundry etc. It is cheaper than therapy.

Somewhere around the afternoon - with all my stretching exercises, pain medication and heat therapy - my pain diminishes and at that time chores and errands are tackled and planning and organization happens.  I am an elderly person trapped in the body of a middle aged woman, but I am so thankful for any health that I do have.
