I could feel the awkwardness after that choice through my screen lol
I didn't want her to get the impression that I don't think she can do things herself.
I'm a cripple. They rebuilt me, reattached both legs, rebuild my left shoulder, reinflated my left lung & had to repair the left side of my rib cage. They said i would NEVER EVER walk again. Took me four months to prove them wrong. Positive outcome to that was proving the proceedure they used to reattach my legs actually works (and the people they use it on are in NOWHERE near the levels of pain i live with, thankfully walk without that level of pain as well). I've NEVER been offended when someone honestly offers to help me if i need to get back up, it's only when condensending arseholes who act like you are helpless & weak just start making a scene in an effort to look like a white knight or something.
Thankfully i haven't had to deal with anyone like that for many years now, it was worse right after the accident that crippled me because i was still in a little shock of not just my injuries but my wife abandoning me & taking my children out of country and not allowing me any contact with them. One of the employees at the Walmart where i would go to get my late night shopping in said that she felt that my apprehension and avoidence of others had more to do with that kind of treatment than anything else.
Who knows, who cares... i have no control over what others do, say or think. I only have control over myself, my actins & my statements. If someone is going to be an arsehole, they are going to be a arsehole... so i let those cases be like water off a duck's back when they come. Just try to be a good person, if you are geniune it will show & be apprecated by those who matter.
Sorry for the long post, just felt that maybe a cripple's point of view might help a little.
