When I started to use a wheelchair (about 10...Dave,<br />When I started to use a wheelchair (about 10 years ago) I quickly discovered the one thing that would be most difficult for me - asking for help when I needed it. Oh, how I struggled with that one! But it turned out to be a life lesson that I needed to learn, apparently. <br />I still have to take a deep breath before I ask for help, but each time I do it, it is a tiny bit easier.<br />I make it a point of honour never to ask for help unless I really need it, though. That is really important to me.<br /><br />It does take strength to admit that you cannot do something.wheeliecronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10570378001102933660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-53506817452600937782011-10-17T18:21:05.372-04:002011-10-17T18:21:05.372-04:00I admire your taste in beer, Well, not the Stella ...I admire your taste in beer, Well, not the Stella but certainly the St, Peters.<br />Wanted to thank you for linking the Keller to my site.

That’s what my partner has been telling me these days when i’ve been struggling with my head in a mess.<br />Good to hear it from you too.<br />I think I have to be real brave to ask for help...<br />because...<br />... (small voice) I’m scared the help might not materialise, and that would hurt so bad.<br />Being strong and brave enough to ask for help, feels just too hard when I feel so broken.<br />But your post makes me feel a little more convinced that I can do it.

today was a good/bad day. Couldnt decide...Hi Dave,<br /><br />today was a good/bad day. Couldnt decide how to feel about it until I read your post.<br /><br />Saturday to Sunday night I had a lung bleed. Not a big one but the first one in almost eleven years. All hell in my head broke loose. My doc was on holiday so I used the emergency cell phone number to call him and he calmed me down. Same did my cardiologist. Today the bleeding stopped and all I had to do was to endure a few tests at my clinic. <br /><br />Even so it could have been a big inconvenice everybody stepped in and helped me. If everything turns out well I can return to work on wendsday.<br /><br />Everyone I asked is an authority but for me they are just humans who help me. And I am glad about it even though I am far fom glad having the lung bleed.<br /><br />In the waiting room I met a mother with her son I havent seen for years. He is 12 years younger than I am. He had more major surgerys than I had during the last five years. I thought he would be okay and having a job right now. Turns out his kidneys stopped working and he is homebound with dialysis for nine month right now. <br /><br />When I had to go to therapy because I could not deal with the way the world for me anymore one of the questions at the paper I had to fill was: Where do you get help from or in wihich situation? And my answer was simple: I always get help if I aks for it!<br /><br />I dont know if this post makes any sense because today I am very tired. But it was the first thing that popped up while i was reading your post.<br /><br />I am glad I am able to ask for help if needed and then to get it.<br /><br />Well done Dave!<br />JuliaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-64592201408629385352011-10-17T07:30:28.691-04:002011-10-17T07:30:28.691-04:00a true teacher you are, Dave.a true teacher you are, Dave.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-32495181451898072092011-10-17T07:29:08.126-04:002011-10-17T07:29:08.126-04:00Poor guy isn't going to know how to act tough ...Poor guy isn't going to know how to act tough anymore ...Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04624151975591059655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-44690654921303966282011-10-17T05:51:57.704-04:002011-10-17T05:51:57.704-04:00Awesome. :)Awesome. :)Just Jess for nowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07250050080448577898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-53040668818620694112011-10-17T00:32:41.003-04:002011-10-17T00:32:41.003-04:00I think you did good Dave.
