If the dr at the hospital told me to rest.

[ThisUsernameIsAvailable]

And husband is off work.
What do you think I should be doing?

I'm at risk of a hospital stay, it's happened before

So why not say ok admit me please

Stay in the bedroom with the door shut. Just keep out of the way. Treat yourself to a colouring book & pencils, time will wizz past.

Get him to accompany you to see that Doctor and tell the Doc, in front of "D"H, what your husband thinks "rest" means.

I am on complete bed rest after surgery. I am literally doing nothing. At all.

Perhaps you should ask to be re-admitted so your DH can get his finger out of his arse and get on with the stuff you can't do.

I was told 2 weeks bed rest in my last pregnancy - I literally stayed in bed and watched tv.

I guess it depends on the problem but rest means rest

Tell him to phone the doctor and ask him/her whether they believe that rest means carrying on with a full load of housework plus being on offer for sex.
