I am a bit stressed out, i helped a woman today who obviously had some problems. She sat outside of the mall asking if i could help her move her groceries to her door, i can`t say no, even if they weigh a ton and i have problems myself.
So while we were walking she told me what the problem was, she has a knee problem and can barely put weight on it. I told her to go to the doctor and she said she had seen one.
Then we got to her house and it turns out she lives in 3 floor with no elevator. I felt so sorry for her so i took her groceries all the way up( i myself have back trouble so i am stretching my own luck here, still i can`t say no to people in need..maybe because i was brought up by a doctor?)
I wish i could have done more for her but my frail health doesn`t comply.
All she wanted was help with her groceries, but its clear to me that her health was so bad that she needed much more help then i was able to give to her.
Horrible to see people in so much pain. A child opened the door so its good to see she has a family, i hope she has a husband who can help her.
I told her to go back to her doctor which i hope she does, she said the medications don`t work.
She invited me in for tea which i thought was very sweet of her. I was on my way to do my own shopping so i had to go.
In Norway it can sometimes be difficult to get all the help you need.
I don`t know the reason for her pain? She had been working for many years, maybe that`s the reason?
I sorta get caught up between the will to be a help when people ask me, and my own back problems.
Its so frustrating.
