"However, don't be proud - accept any offers of help from family and friends for tasks that increase the pain or that you can't do for the moment. "

This has been one that has been the hardest for me.

I have always been one in control, the one doing everything, not depending on others. It wasn't until I had the TEC put in that I had taken people up on their offer for help. Gals from church were more than happy to bring meals over for the family. They did the same thing with the trial stim. and the perm. placement.

I thought for sure they would get tired of helping out by the 3rd, 4th, 5th time I needed help but heck no! It is like these women live to serve.
