Bad days and not as bad days

It is always hard to answer the "How is your wife doing?" question I get all the time. First our 15 minutes of fame should be over-it has been almost 20 weeks now. Second the question is kind of like asking someone how are you doing. The answer is an implied positive. The answer I give is some variation of such.

The real answer is either bad, or not as bad as bad. Everyday it is hard at wake up time. Hurt, pain, stiffness. Also in the afternoon it is bad. Then their are the additional things-constipation, worried about the kids, husband being a jerk, can't do anything. Not just some days, everyday. Looks, like answers are deceiving.
