This is stupid and really random but I had a good meeting today about this stuff SO…

I constantly feel like I’m bothering people every time I need help/supports and avoid asking people for that exact reason.

We are here to support you whether you ask for it or not. We are all stronger as a group than as individuals. I have always been the person people ask for help, now that I'm older and sometimes need help I have a hard time asking.

Everyone needs a little help sometimes. That's what friends are for

Happy Monday all....yeah I know. I had PT this morning at 11:30. Got there about 11:15 so they started me early. Still didn't get out till noon or a bit after. From there DH and I headed to Tractor Supply for sunflower seed for the wild birds and chickens along with some spray that will get rid of the carpenter bees that seem to think chewing up the wood on the back porch overhang is the thing to do. Blasted things are so destructive. Harbor Freight is in the same strip mall so we stopped there and got home about 2.

I'm exhausted after a PT session of exercises followed by deep muscle massage and stretches that is so intense that I don't know whether to sigh with relief as the muscles loosen up or cry from the pain. But working those muscles to get them to work again isn't fun and my shoulder blade is still wanting to handle the bulk of the work my shoulder usually does by itself and it needs to stop it. They tell me I'm doing fantastic though and I told them that the past 4-5 days I can finally see an improvement and am able to use my right arm more.....finally.

Today is my 8th week post op.

Came home the temp was in the low 80s and there was thunder in the west. 30 minutes later it was raining, now the temp is down to 68. Considering that last week it was in the 90s I can live with it. The AC is running but the humidity is 94% right now. Need to change from shorts and tank top to capris and a t-shirt and head out to take care of the birds.

Thanks guys

And friends are AMAZING (if they’re good ones which you guys all are LOL) but I also have a whole team of people IRL, both clinical and non clinical, to ask, but I’m worried about bothering them too. Even though it’s literally their job LOL

It just sucks cause like for example, one of my workers today gave me some numbers and information but I’m scared to call or text any of them cause I don’t want to bother them either

Are the numbers for someone who can help you? If they are call them! It's their job to be bothered and they get paid for it! If they don't know what you need they can't help and you are right back where you started. You know the old saying...the squeaky wheel gets the oil! A friend of mine used to tell me if you don't put your hand out nobody can put money in it.

As Christmas neared, chaos erupted at the North Pole. Four of Santa’s best elves caught the flu, leaving the trainees scrambling to keep up. The toy production line slowed to a miserable crawl.
Then, just as Santa was trying to hold things together, Mrs. Claus cheerfully announced that her mother was coming to visit.
Desperate for a moment of peace, Santa went to harness the reindeer—only to discover that three were about to give birth, and two had jumped the fence, disappearing into the snowy wilderness.
Still determined, he began loading the sleigh. But luck was not on his side. A floorboard gave way, sending the massive toy sack tumbling. Gifts shot out in every direction, bouncing, breaking, and scattering across the workshop like an explosion of holiday spirit.
Frustrated and exhausted, Santa trudged inside for a cup of apple cider—maybe with a splash of rum to take the edge off. But when he opened the cupboard, he found that the elves had drunk all the cider and—just for fun—hidden the liquor.
In his rising fury, he knocked over the empty jug, which shattered into a thousand tiny glass shards. Muttering under his breath, he grabbed the broom—only to find that the mice had chewed all the straw off the end.
And that’s when the doorbell rang.
Grinding his teeth, Santa stomped to the door and yanked it open.
There stood a tiny, beaming angel, holding an enormous Christmas tree.
“Merry Christmas, Santa!” the angel chirped. “Isn’t this just a wonderful day? I brought you a beautiful tree! Now… where would you like me to put it?”
And that, my friends, is how the tradition of the angel on top of the Christmas tree began.
Not many people know this.

Well. You just need to do it. It hard adulting. I force myself to call people now. I don’t like it either

Thanks. Yeah, it’s funny because I can call doctor’s offices, the vet, etc. on my own now (well, for a while now) or talk to them if they call me but yet this… IDK. This is different. Harder. I think because it involves feelings/emotions/mental health and I’ve always stuffed everything down until fairly recently and still do a lot
