Isn't it great when family assumes the worst when you don't answer a phone call or text right away? I had fallen asleep, Mom tried to call me, and when I finally heard it and got to the phone she had texted five times, called maybe two times, and left a voicemail. She said she was about to call the police and have them do a welfare check on me. I've told her I would let her know if something was wrong, but "what if you were unresponsive? What if you'd had a heart attack and couldn't get to your phone? What if I was unresponsive?" I told her that I have medical ID, so someone would be able to contact her. About her not being responsive, I pointed out she could be on a call, or maybe she could even be asleep. But no, she's going to hear her phone, and she'll either answer it or send a text that she can't talk right now. I get having concerns, but there's a difference between being concerned and assuming the worst.
