In reply to My session today and ?'s about what is therapy?, posted by lemonaide on September 23, 2008, at 12:32:26
Oh Lemonaide, I feel so bad for you. It must really be painful.
I've been considering writing this, but after your posting today, I thought I should do it. Probably others have thought the same but maybe are smarter and not raising it? I just want to say that based on my experience with my father, this looks a lot like the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. My father had memory lapsss for a number of years, and then had bipass surgery. I don't know if it was the extra stress of surgery or what, but when he came out it was _really_ obvious. He was in denial for quite a while. He would say his doctor said he was OK, when I knew this wasn't true. I don't know if he just couldn't remember, so said what he wanted to hear.
Lemonaide, I really hope this doesn't make you feel worse. I just think you should be aware of the possibilities if you are trying to make decisions.
You're in such a tough situation, but I think you should do what I'm sure your T would have advised you when he was well - do what is best for you.
Please take care - we are thinking of you.
