Coping How He Can

For over a week now Dave has been having severe back pains. He cant sit, which makes driving into his jobs a challenge and he gets tired after standing for too long and relief just seems next to impossible to find.

Since he is self employed, each day he doesnt work he loses money. It sucks to look at it that way but unfortunately its the truth.

For days now Dave has been trying to finish up some quotes and drawings for clients and he cant ever seem to do it because he cant get into the right position. That is until last night.

Look at how he is resting:
Now look where his computer screen is:
If you cant tell, he projected his lap top screem onto the ceiling so he could lie on top of a massage mat and heating pad while imputing all the info.

I have to say seeing my husband this way is agonizing. Nothing stops him and this has been torturing him. He drives into work and has to pull over three different times to get out and move becasue it hurts so badly. He cant work too hard because it hurts too much, he cant stay still be cause it hurts so much.

Needless to say I am feeling very sorry for him and praying he gets better quickly. The stress he is handling must be pretty bad too.
