Does he really 'want' you to do all this housework, or are you doing it without mentioning the pain you are in? See about having a professional cleaner come in once a week - because you HURT too much.
In response to this even though I said I wouldn't whine...

He refuses to vacuum even though I've begged him every weekend for 4 weekends. He keeps saying, "if I have time" but doesn't have time because sports are on or he's too involved in his stupid video games. He's almost 40 (okay 38 in Sept) I think it's time he grow up and stop playing all the time and realize life is NOT all about fun and games, but work too.

A few years back I had surgery on my hand and it was in a cast for a bit of time. He wouldn't do a single dish - so I had to put on huge gloves and wrap a bag around my arm so I could do them. Yep, with my hand in a cast. It's hard to do dishes with 1 hand.
