How do you take care of your special someone when they are physically hurt or sick? How do you like to be taken care of when you are physically hurt or sick?
My husband wrenched his back at work yesterday. This is kind of a major deal as he has had sciatica problems in the past and at one point was rushed to the emergency room because of it. This is the first time he's experienced any kind of pain or illness since we moved in together and I have no idea how to make him comfortable or take his mind off of it. We have a pretty soft bed so that's out. The couch is kinda hard but I have a nice fluffy pillow and then there's the rocking chair which forces him to sit up straight.
I think a massage would compound the problem and prescription strength pain relievers and muscle relaxers are a no-go. What can I do to help him?
