Score another one for Helen! I was just sitting here thinking about my own health issues but with the understanding I would tell no one about my worries until it was absolutely necessary. Learning to ask for something I need is a skill I had to come to and learn late in life, and I'm still not 100% at it.

I am glad you're okay. Those calls from the doctor can completely short-circuit your day or week or month. And thank you for reminding me of Brene Brown and her reminder about vulnerability.
