Separated pubic bone (looking to commiserate)

I've posted before about my condition, and I know some of you have this as well. What are you doing to keep yourself sane, not being able to do much?
I'm 34 weeks and if this baby decides to come a couple of weeks early I'd be totally ok with it. I have a 5yr old, 2yr old, and am used to being on my feet as a hairstylist. If I have to stand longer than 20 minutes I'm in excruciating pain. My husband has been doing the best he can to do everything around the house, but he can't do it all. So I'm sitting here looking at dust bunnies and thinking about our nursery that's not even been put together with an ice pack on my pubic bone.
Please tell me I'm not alone.
I can't even undress myself at the end of the day. Sick of it. I don't mean to complain, I just want to know I'm not the only one.

    You are so not alone! I can't sleep, walk, sit or move in the slightest without being in tremendous pain!! I have been using a body pillow for some time and that does nothing to help any more! Now while i try to sleep my sciatic on both side will act up (a result from the pubic bone and low baby I am sure) so I rotate like a rotisserie chicken but with trying not to cry out in pain and without waking my husband. 
    Dressing and undressing should be put on america's funniest home videos!! LOL! Sneakers and boots are the hardest things in the world for me right now! 
    I am very thankful that I will be delivering this coming Thursday 12/17/2015 at 37 weeks and 3 days. I am high risk so they are taking her a bit early. I cannot wait for the relief from this. Dealing with healing from a c-section is a lot less then dealing with this! 
    Good luck and hopefully your baby decides to come a little early also to help you out!

    You are not alone. I have 15 days to 37 weeks and my schedule c-section. I have been in a wheelchair do to pelvic separation since August(?). I try not to think about it. And on heavy duty pain killers for two months. Talk about guilt, I'm drugging my unborn but my MFM insisted. I can't lay around all day weeping in pain. And I can't work from home because the drugs make me super foggy and we are trying to close a huge deal at work and I can't mess anything up. And I am suppose to be taking over the business next year and really can't afford to not be invloved. And then,because I can't move around I have to have a blood thinner shot everyday and I Hate needles. My husband had to stop working because I can't even go to the bathroom by myself and not suppose to be left by myself. I can't put anything any clothes other than my shirt and bra on. My depression has spiraled out of control because going from working 60+ hours a week and being a functional human to becoming someone who has to wake their husband up every time I have to pee, is hard. They increased my anti-depressant dosage for a little while which helped because I was loosing weight but because it's getting closer to delivery time they reduced it again. Which totally sucks. They are nagging me to gain more weight. (Which I want to! I want a chubby healthy baby, I don't care about how hard it will be to loose but I am just not hungry) Then the doctor is unsure how long it is going to take for me to be able to walk again. And now they are telling me that a ventrical in her brain is larger than its suppose to be and will need to be monitored after she is born.

    Sorry for the outburst. I haven't told anyone outside my family and my boss what's going on and it feels good to get it out.

    Anyway, OP you are a champ and definitely not alone.
