I am marveling at the idea of my h stuck on his back in bed, unable to move without great pain due apparently to a recurrent slipped disc (had this a couple times before when we were tog.). I think there are things in his life that still feel "stuck" to him, at his job and certainly about where he is now living as a roommate in someone's house. So to be "stuck" in bed, in fact in the very bed he made and must lie in.... is a very apt metaphor.

I have compassion for him, but it is not at this point possible to show it, or to take any of it on as my own pain because I have been so shut out. So no chicken soup for him.
