Any suggestions?

I understand back pain, and having an active husband with back problems. I have constant back pain myself, and my husband, who is a roofer and very active, has a bad back that really needs medical attention. I can only imagine how you are feeling, trying to help him all that you can. Anyhow, you said that he like diy. Would he be willing to write diy instructions? This would help keep him busy, and in a way, he would still have the ability to diy. If he wants to remain as active as possible, he can go swimming to remain active. This is actually helpful at times. Other than that, he could do things on the computer, read a good book....things of that nature. If he is worrieda bour making money, diy e-books might be something that interests him.

try service of physical theraphy, one of my gym buddy had an injuried back and he is also frustrated but he is determined to gain back his strengh so he had personal theraphy, slow he regain his strenght now he can do anything but of course with still extra cautious..

was he not given any exercise that he can do to strengthen his back and somehow stop it from worsening? at the age of 24 i was diagnosed to have a slight leviscoliosis. i was so frustrated coz aside from being a sport person, imagine at that age im already feeling like invalid. but then i ask my doctor if i can have some alternative exercise because i play marathon. i was given some set of exercises for my back and advised me to go to swimming instead. i never had any painful experiences on my back after a year of doing it until now that ive stopped with my sport and exercises for a long period of time. im sure there still are other ways to make it better.

O that is really sad, but, why don't you ask him to write here at mylot? I am sure aside from the boredom, he will also eventually feel refreshed. Imagine, a site that will help him express his feelings and thoughts. I am sure it will be good. That is all i can share to you. Have a great day.

Hey carmel,first of all feel very sorry that you going through such a phase and I wish for his speedy recovery.If you want his mind to get busy then suggest him to read books.They are the best past times available.If he is not fond of reading that much then there are many interesting games which he can try like sudoku scrabble.Once you get involved in these games time just flies,atleast thats for me. I think it depends on him what he likes?HE can do mylot if not anything else.SO you should find out what he wants to do.

I feel sorry for what has happened and i pray to god that he gets well soon. As you said once he is do it yourself person and he is interested in gardening, therefore he can share his experience on mobile and listen to good music. Above all he needs your encouragement and see that he never feels alone and try to keep him busy with some topic so that he should never think of what had happened in the past.

Does he love to read? If he do, get some books for him, and also a notepad or a journal. He could get some writings done, like for leisure and jot down any happenings or use it like a diary. If he doesn't like writing, then encourage him to read. Get the books of the genre he is interested in and let him read. Computer games might help to relax the mind too, and his body will be rested totally. You can also try to get those DIY parts like where you can sit and fix something. Something like LEGO but for adults. Build things with hands like carving wooden ships and etc. These are some ideas; hope this helps.

I'm so sorry to hear about your husbands problem. It is really hard for someone active at one time not being able to continue being active. How about taking up reading of things he may be interested in. How about taking up some course online that might interest him. How about photography, Poetry, writing. oil painting of sunsets. I hope this helps somewhat. I can't think of anything else. I'm not sure how long he can be on his feet if at all but I was thinking also cooking or baking. Good luck to both of you and God Bless.

hey.. sorry to hear that.. but always be positive and optimistic..after all life is a struggle and better days will sure come. so the point is ask him to read motivating books, general books depending on his subjects of interest . also u may ask him to just while his time surfing if u got a laptop or notebook keep him interestd with some good television shows... play some quite indoor games.. he will get well soon..WE ALL PRAY "GOD" amen cheers :)

That has to be really hard on both of you. My husband would hate it too. If he likes to garden..what about an herb garden he could grow indoors? My brother-in-law is really into model cars, he picked that hobby up after he broke both his legs in a motorcycle accident. What about trains, they seem to be something alot of guys enjoy. My husband flies little helicopters around the house for fun, he is perfecting landing on the ceiling fan blade. I am really looking forward to his next hobby, not so crazy about helicopters buzzing around my head, but he's having a great time.

i'm sorry for your husband's situation,frist,i suggest you should encourage him,everything will be fine,and now the network is indispensable to life , a lot of thing can be handle on the network,such as disport?work?sutdy......i think he should be able to regain confidence from the network,good luck to..
