I see myself and my friends aging, and I try to figure out what I should do NOW before I can't do it without more help than is reasonable. Like go do volunteer work in New Zealand. <br />thanks for writing your thoughts, CatherineCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14610489814193679042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7435377694152785180.post-72461282761451598472012-06-02T16:31:45.615-07:002012-06-02T16:31:45.615-07:00I just posted this to my facebook page.

I am getting a little better at asking my husband for help. Not just emergency help [like when Im stuck in the shower clinging to the safety bar with no energy to get out] but general help. Its hard. A part of your illness that Im secretly jealous of is that you actually look different on the outside. I know this sounds terrible, but sometimes I wish I could break down and get a walker or wheelchair so people on the outside could get a peek into what it feels like on the inside. But I am afraid that I would get too addicted to a wheelchair and lose what mobility I have. *sigh*Tressahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03836162668498104159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7435377694152785180.post-90648546295537959962012-05-30T16:50:24.123-07:002012-05-30T16:50:24.123-07:00I just posted a link to your blog on my Facebook p...I just posted a link to your blog on my Facebook page.MDMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17852839558477337602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7435377694152785180.post-91754709838274022892012-05-30T16:31:11.278-07:002012-05-30T16:31:11.278-07:00Mary, I've been following your blog for quite ...Mary, I've been following your blog for quite some time and every post is right on the money. Funny, insightful, thought-provoking (or merely provoking) and sometimes convicting of those of us who are, as you say, "Temporarily Abled." This post is no different: giving help is a darn sight easier than asking for it. Asking for it requires humility and admitting one's "less than abled" status. Knowing one is loved, when people chip in with help, is (in the immortal words of the commercials): priceless.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03051697938223955863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7435377694152785180.post-40373925409674378762012-05-30T14:46:59.601-07:002012-05-30T14:46:59.601-07:00I've read your blog before and enjoyed it.
