Sorry for shitting up this board, but I didn’t know the best place to ask.

>geology grad student
>need to do field work for thesis
>have to go alone now because advisor is in a high risk group, which is perfectly fine
>this past week I tear one a pec
>need to keep it in a sling for a while
>still try and do field work
>takes way longer because I can only really use one arm
Is it fair for me to request some kind of undergrad assistant to come with me, so I can focus on making observations and taking notes rather than carrying shit? Idk how common of a situation this is. Pic related is my arm the other night before swelling started to go down.
