Thanks Jo.
I just finished with an appointment with the fill-in for son's case manager. She's away this week.
The fill-in was great. He spent an hour & a half with me - at my house! This is the most wonderful service I can imagine!! And free!!
He asked me if I'm interested in seeing someone in addition to the HOPE team, to help me deal with MY issues that all this is triggering. I said that I'd LOVE to but they're usually too expensive. He said he always tries to find someone who's covered by OHIP & therefore free!!!
Son meets with him this afternoon, & we already have an appointment on Thursday to meet with son's HOPE team psychiatrist!
I'm trying to stay calm & NOT catastrophize about the whole situation.
I'm also trying to view them both as ADULTS.
I'm trying to say in my mind, "This too shall pass & at some point when it's over I'll be able to look BACK at it, just like I can now look back at when my son was in bad shape back in Vancouver."
So far today, I'm doing pretty well. I'm even seriously considering picking up some clay at the pottery guild studio, bringing it home, sitting on my livingroom floor & making some pottery!!
So today's feeling way better than last nite.
thx for your support, luv,Kath
