Overwhelmed with more than I can cope with

[Liberty Belle]

17. I'm so sorry for your dog's surgery and your shoulder issues.

I've had crepitus in my other shoulder for many years from a car accident that caused permanent nerve damage. Now my other shoulder is the problem. I could deal with the first by just sleeping on the other side, but now have to prop up with a lot of pillows. Stretches do help a little and yeah, stress makes it worse.

Sometimes hubby does sleep in the spare bed in his home office but it's not comfortable due to cat issues -- one is old and has some bladder control problems so we had to put an extra litter box in there. We're coping as best we can but it's not easy -- cat also often wakes us both up at night.

He has some job stresses but needs to do better at least for now. I've told him i can't cope with any more hassles or complaints, and just can't do everything at the moment that I used to handle.
