Taking advice from friends or relatives is not always easy. Who do you trust? Who do you believe? Who do you tell? And when do you disclose your disease to others?
The answer to these questions is that there are no right or wrong answers. Be patient! I don’t have a set of rules for each person. To generalize close family members will come first, some came out of necessity, playing golf with a close friend, I found myself shaking when attempting to put the ball on the tee, and I needed some assistance. This individual appreciated the information, removing the awkwardness of the situation.
Sometimes, it is acceptable to smile or laugh at the fact that answers don’t exist. For example, Coke versus Pepsi, high test versus regular, or McDonald’s versus Burger King.
Are there correct answers? Solution – Listen to your gut, be open minded to change, and by the way, my vote goes to Coke!!
