I am overwhelmed by the support people have shown me recently. It is very humbling. I have not felt the best recently so that has increased me feeling like an emotional basket case recently.
I have two things that make me feel like I should not need the support I receive at times. One, I was in the Army. They teach teamwork to get the mission done, but each individual is fiercely independent. Second, I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, while we in the church teach helping others, we also teach self reliance. So in two ways, I am not sure how to respond to help at times. Because I’m in a wheelchair everyone I see wants to help me in some way. I very much appreciate the help I receive for so many things. At the same time I hardly ever want to ask, even it is for something I know I can’t do by myself.
I have had a pretty good week overall. One of the best things I and my parents discovered that you can buy a turkey dinner at Denny’s. That helped us a lot. My mom picked everything up at the store and brought it back. I ate to much potatoes and gravy and stuffing. But it was sure good.
What a week has happened. I glad life moves on.
