It is difficult choosing between the loneliness and taking a chance and maybe getting hurt. The loneliness doesn't go anywhere though, can't ever help make things better. It becomes a nasty surprise to people who would have loved to help, to suddenly find their neighbor has to be picked up by ambulance or something and taken to the hospital?

When you see a neighbor mowing, just go out and ask them can they mow you too, you haven't been too well. You don't have to explain too much to neighbors. My neighbor asked me could she weed my garden! She and her girlfriend like to lay in the sun in the summertime and they get bored and like something to do while they're tanning. She thought I was going to have the gardening service do it and didn't want to inconvenience me. I'd been having trouble with my neck and shoulder and couldn't bend down. We both got what we needed?
