I am a busy caretaker and while I work through problems and solutions for my own family and students on a daily basis, I often experience decision fatigue when it comes to my own selfcare. I took a hard fall to my left knee and experienced pain that lingered longer than expected. As someone who hesitates to seek medical help, having someone talk me through my options for care was priceless. There were outcomes and consequences I wouldn’t have come to understand on my own. She listened thoughtfully and validated my concerns, which allowed me the time I needed to process and ask questions. Her patience and obvious investment in my care allowed me to create a plan of action that was flexible, affordable, and manageable for my busy schedule.
