Everyone Occasionally Needs A Little Help

Emerson wrote that: "There is no shame in asking for help, the shame is in not asking when we could use the help." I have a friend who was struck by a car as he was crossing the street. He had his tibia broken in two places. After his doctor inserted the braces to align the pieces so that the bones could knit back, he was instructed to keep his weight off that leg as he went about his day. At first, he thought he could cook, clean house, bathe, and do laundry himself using a walker - have you ever hopped about all day and night with one leg off the ground and dragged your laundry to and from the laundry room? He managed, but when he accepted my and other acquaintances help, he had more time and energy to enjoy our companionship and visits; the PT exercises were more fun and his rehabbing time went faster.
