I guess it just feels like if I let that go, it will be harder to be strong for S.
(Inevitable x-post, I just know it)
Pumpkin, if you're not taking care of yourself, it's hard to be strong for other people.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Sean, think of it as adding our support to the strength you already have. You are holding up amazingly well, and deciding to accept help is very very smart.

I just don't know what help to ask for.
Where are you staying? Is that working out?
Do you want company in the hospital?
Do you want someone to go have a drink/meal with just to get away for a bit?
Do you want homecooked food?

I suspect the cafeteria people have seen plenty of meltdowns, Sean. That's where I usually go to meltdown away from my loved ones.
It would be so great if Suzi's mom can help talk y'all through this. The medical system in this country is completely broken. I wish there was more I could do from the other side of the country.
In the much less pressing "I have a loose tooth" news, I saw the dentist and she says she doesn't want to pull the crown out and recement it until after the holidays because if there is something broken, there wouldn't be any crown-repairing people or gum surgeons around. So I get to spend the next two weeks chewing with the left side of my mouth.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Sean, anything the 'istas can do, please, let us do. It makes us feel useful, and doesn't carry the guilt and other baggage that sometimes comes with others. We like to help.
Anyway, sometimes the strongest thing a person can do is ask for help.

I want to be "self reliant, I need no help" guy, but I'm also thinking that's really stupid, and I need to let that go.
I am the queen of never asking for help, but I recognize that this can be insane troll logic. It's one thing to be self-reliant for life's normal ups and downs, but this is a huge deal that most people never have to face. I have noticed that most of the talk-show hosts who preach self-reliance have rarely had anything bad happen to them that was outside their control. A child with a birth defect, cancer, a car crash or a failing liver can all show that self-reliance is as much a matter of luck as it is of hard work.
