ok heres a puzzle for you late night loungers

[SwampG8r]

my wife has been in an accident and has had a permanent back injury
she will recover to a great degree and will be able to at some point resume many of her duties.
i am quite frankly thrilled that she will at some point be able to return to work as she loves her work
she has a suit that she will win that will compensate her fully for what limitations she will face in the future

we have been together since 1975 when she was a 15 year old girl and i was a 19 year old guy who flipped for her over a game of egyptian ratfuck.(no touchee for 2 years too like dating a sicilian girl)
we have pretty much been together ever since.
now i cant hug her as she cant take it
i sleep on a couch while im setting up a room here because everytime i roll over it hurts her and we cant sleep together any more
now dont take me out of context here please,but any other forms of activities are off the table.they are off of any other surface as well.
i know its not a pretty picture but we have always been very...affectionate and now we have to deal with so many layers of disappointment(ours) and actual physical pain(hers not mine...i am strong!...like bull!!)that it doesnt even come up(unintended pun)i know she is hurting over this more than me and if you have been around a woman for 36 years and didnt touch her for the first 2 you can do a 3 to 5 year stretch without breaking a sweat.
today the lawyer asked me if i wanted to file for loss of consortium

here is the puzzle
put a $number on our loss
