My hurtin' hubby

Please pray for rapid healing for my big bear husband. He is in severe pain, which is why he's home from work wrapped up in his koala bear blankie. He has his walking stick there to help him get up and down as well as walk. He really strained some muscles in his lower back. Besides the back pain, the pain travels down his leg also. So far the pain medications he is trying either make him throw up or just don't really help. Yesterday he did lots of moaning and groaning. Today he is quieter - but I don't think he feels any better. He's been to the chiropractor twice and the doctor once all in the past 2 days. He gets a very frustrated look on his face whenever I need to help him do anything (must be a guy thing). He will be off work the rest of the week. He is icing his lower back and walking every hour. Please pray that God would take the pain away. I can tell Don is spending a lot of time meditating and praying through it, but please join with us in seeking relief for him. I know how much it hurts.

We've said prayers for Don. Hope he's doing better. I know what it's like to be the wife of a back-hurtin-ouchie-kindof-guy. No fun. :(
