OTOH, if our partners had full understanding, patience, and empathy with our situation, we wouldn't need each other! ;-) Hear hear!

It is so easy to think only of your own situation and forget the impact on others. The lack of independence is something most of us are not used to and do not take well to. There are many lessons we learn during our recovery and hopefully one of them is to appreciate the love we have been given. Every now and then the stress of it all will cause a blow up. All I can say is suck it up. If you feel this, put yourself in your partners place for a minute and think how you would feel having to do everything plus look after you.

I ruptured mine at the beginning of August with my wife 6 months pregnant and a new puppy in the apt. To say the stress level was increased would be a monumental understatement. The pressure she was under for 10 weeks I was on crutches must have been unimaginable and she handle it like a champ, except for a few minor blow ups. Your significant other can sure be a rock when you need them to be. Awesome! I second this completely.
