We all need some help sometimes. I say that but as you, i have had a hell of a time accepting it. It's true in a way in the end we need to depend on ourselves but that doesn't mean we can't accept help from others when in need.
Idk if this will help but Last yr i had back surgery and was stupid with i'll do the dishes and all, yeah i couldn't bend down and none the less i was heavily drugged, but there was one night when my boyfriend was at work, i was sitting in the chair we had and i litteraly couldn't get up by myself due to it was only a few days after surgery, my boyfriend came home and i still was bull headed with asking for help even though i had to go to the restroom, he came over and i told him in tears for hours i'd been sitting and had to go but couldn't get up. he helped me up, it hurt so bad physically and emotionally for me. but i was so grateful he was there to help me and idk for me. I couldn't get up to go to the restroom i did feel helpless and hated it and in the end i saw some times we need help. It doesn't make us helpless though, i was able to go to the restroom by myself I tell this to my bro all the time for years for he's more so bull headed than i at times, but not till last year did i really *fully* believe it. I've done so many things by myself which has hurt me. I'm learning to ask and accept help in some areas. I mess up some times but it's a working progress as i'm sure your doing as well as far as parents idk got too much on my mind with my own with out helping out any of their kids.

I hope you heal well and i am sure you know don't re injure yourself and as always be well :-)
