Wow! I am really amazed at all the support. I think chemotherapy warped my brain and I had no idea handicap parking was such a hot topic. After this encounter, I will be more wary of parking spaces and not to pass judgement. Now, I will always be looking for people to help at the grocery store with my gimpy arm (it seems I am there daily). I know there are people with more serious illnesses but any type of surgical procedure takes a recovery period. I am thankful for the ability to be able to drive a car (it is still a difficult task) and I am trying to reconcile the fact that my body will never be the same.

There a many people out there will help. All you have to do is ask. I have asked for help for some thing, it seems that I end up helping them , in some way at the same time.

I like to Pay it Forward.

Great Pictures!

Where I shop I always ask for help and they are very willing to give it. I do not even say why. They take my cart to my car after bagging the groceries (light like I ask them) and load them in my car for me. People like to help more than we give them credit for. We just have to ask. I always told my boys that when they were growing up that it never hurts to ask, someone might say no, but at least you tried.
