There comes a time when each of us must say, "I can't do it alone." Each of us, sooner or later. We hold out our hands and say to someone, "Help me." When that time comes, all we have left is our trust. ~ Perry Mason As you can tell from the quote above, I love Perry Mason. I've been watching a lot of it recently. Lying in bed tends to go by a lot faster trying to beat him to figuring out who the killer is. When I'm not watching Perry, I have a lot of time to think. I have slowly been coming to terms with the fact that normal as I knew it - or wanted to know it - will never be. This disease keeps progressing, and apparently fighting it on my own has contributed to that. When that began to sink in, I realized that my very survival rests on my ability to ask for help. Perry got me thinking. It's not just humbling to ask for help. It's vulnerable. Admitting you need help doesn't just hurt your pride; it threatens you
