cleaner, this way

patgreene has a slight tear in her posterior cruciate ligament, and a slight tear in another left knee ligament, but neither will require surgery.

She is hobbling around, now... could use a cane, is in pain, but can now drive for short periods. And then we will have survived this latest crisis without any outside help at all...

IMO, to accept help is to be part of the community. To insist on doing everything oneself is stepping back from community, and not allowing others the pleasures of giving help to others. Alas, I'm still working on that one. This one really hits me where it hurts, because I love helping other people, and it's hard for me to ask for and accept help.

But there are others who need help more... those people are enough of an energy-sink to provide lots of opportunities for giving help to others. No one has a need to give help to specifically me or mine.
