@arnlybub I SO hear you!
I’ve put so many people off-side because I simply don’t need the meals cooked etc - as far as my travels down this path are concerned, I’m happiest when my life is as normal as possible, which means that I’m going to work every day and my family is self-sufficient with the shopping and cooking.
I have definitely asked for help when I’ve needed it though - for example when I landed up in hospital for a couple of days with a fever while on chemo, and I needed to organise lifts for my 12 year old.
So reach out and enjoy being spoilt for a bit, but if you are feeling well and it helps you to be in control of your household, then by all means do whatever you feel comfortable doing. Don’t push it! Have your pyjama days when you need them and definitely don’t feel like a fraud. Every single man or woman who travels this path, no matter how easy or difficult the journey, is courageous and is doing whatever they can to get through it in their own way.
Enjoy the rest of the long weekend! Xxxxx
