It was such a GREAT surprise to see your post. I think of you often and wondered how my friend is doing. Every time I changed my standing therapy appointment days I thought of you and wondered if you were doing the same ... or ordering the same menu items. I missed you!!
I cut back to twice a week so we are on similar paths again. WOW ... once a week ... it is a hard thing to do! On the other hand, congratulations to getting to this point. You worked so brutely and honestly hard ... sharing stuff I couldn't imagine. Your therapist is solid.
Dasiy and I were talking about my cutting back recently and how I experience my therapist's vacations and scheduling interruptions (due to her medical issues or other life stuff) feels like a blow to my stomach. Yes, I am completely understanding and adult-like but the two year old inside of me is throwing a tantrum screaming, "what about me?".
No doubt about it, it's a loss. And for you, some growing pains thrown into the mix. AND I'm so happy you came here for some added support. Seeing your name pop up brought a huge smile!! Did you initiate the reduction? The timing is perfect with graduations all around.
I'm typing faster than I'm thinking and I want to clarify something before I move on --- I was the person who initiated cutting back to twice a week therapy. Prior to that, in a period of 7 months, I had missed around 6 weeks of therapy due to her stuff and a little of mine. Then with the new year, came a new insurance plan that basically s*cks, paying about 30% of her fee [one of the highest on this board].
So you love your work!! How great is that?! Any grandchildren yet? Are you looking forward to summers on the lake? Everyone safe and sound? My nephew came home from the marines a few days ago. It was great seeing him and giving him a giant bear hug ... he looks so strikingly like my deceased brother.
One change around here you may want to note. Your posts are now "facebookable" or "twitter-able" unless you opt out of this feature. I forgot how you opt out, Dinah will remind us (I hope), but wanted you to know that.
Love you!
