I just started working for someone that knows me well. My partner thinks I can do 40h/w.. I feel 30h/w. Is a good start, so that was what I opted for. I wonder what happens, if I have to miss 3 days in a row, or more. I love my job, but I may have this problem, in the next few months. I am starting to notice a pattern. Being in drive thru does help. Not too many fast movements or middle body movements, most of the day. My job consists of all the things my Doctors allow for, although I do more at home.

Does anyone know how to make my Partner see this? He thinks I am in for a rude awakening, but I need more from him than most people do.

He thinks I am faking, sometimes, because I am trying to make my children do what I did for Chores, at their Ages. And I am not as fast as he wants me to be. And my libido is down, due to strenous preactivity with our 4 kids, 2 dogs and Rooster🐓.

I have more energy on the days that I work, because my job, Only, consists of my Doctor approved chores.

How do I show him that I appreciate how hard he works, while making him Understand that ALL my pain is Real?

I don't show half of my pain, anyway! Plus, I have a High pain Tolerance.

One suggestion - would your partner be willing to call the SHARE helpline and speak to another peer "caregiver" who understands what it is like supporting someone diagnosed with cancer?

Worth a try.

I just went back to work , after being out for a year. I am in pain everyday as well, my husband does not want me to work but i need it for myself. Your husband needs to understand, and most men don't which is unfortunate. Sorry but you are in my prayers good luck.
