Background: Someone I know professionally and consider a friend has had a stroke. She is my editor for "Am I Brain Damaged?" a book I wrote to support anyone involved in brain injuries. I am a TBI survivor from 1986.
My editor is a friend from a group I have been apart of for 5 years. I am a professional COTA-Occupational Therapist. My friend is recuperating well.
I have been asked by my friend's in-laws to back off with intervention because they want "only hospital personnel working with her". I am struggling because I know early and frequent intervention provides the utmost return in for any brain damage-stroke, embolis, concussion, coma, TBI......The in-laws are not medical professionals and I am sure they are overwhelmed, afraid of any further damage.
What should I do???
Everyone on this site, myself included has been in the injured shoes- share your insights with me please
