Hi folks - appreciate your thoughts or experiences on how you managed this... we can't be the first ones feeling this...
PALS notices something - legs "feel weird" or a close call that wasn't a fall.
PALS tells CALS. Gotta share the information right? This is what's going on.
CALS hits the metaphorical panic button. We should email the neuro. Maybe the physio can suggest something...
PALS (later) says 'when you react with panic, it makes me reluctant to tell you things. I need you to trust me to know what to escalate and what can wait for next appointment in 3 weeks.'
CALS defends their actions as just wanting to do the right thing and best intentions.
PALS is a little sad that there isn't a 'that must be scary, frustrating, annoying, really freakin scary, did I mention scary for you'. That sharing perceptions immediately triggers the call to action.
What did you do? What did you wish your pals/cals had done?
