A neighbor has offered to help me do some of the things I find difficult or impossible to do since one of my arms has multiple issues, ( ruptured bicep tendon and poorly healed broken wrist.) My problem is she refuses to take any money for helping me. What would you do? I'd take the help and find ways to repay her other than money.

If I knew I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself. Mickey Mantle I always thought this quote was pretty funny, but now it's hitting home. I've tried to stay away from doctors at all cost. Maybe I'd be in better shape if I'd been more focused on my health. Do you ever second guess your health decisions or avoid going to the doctors? I also avoid going to the doctors.
