Sigh, this is so ongoing round here isn't it?
My T DID say I can phone 1x/wk to just check in.
But its only MON! and I'll have used my one time!
Goto T on Wed. after Dr. appt.
Guess I'll just wait cuz mebbe later in week I'll need to call.
Its always hard after appt. Kinda like tasting the nectar of the illusion of safety and unconditional acceptance, then having to leave the rest of the bottle behind.

I sort of consider a week to be the week between appointments. So if you normally go on Wednesday, Monday would be later in the week. If you feel you need to call, call. Did she say 1x/week was the most? Or do you think it might just have been a number she was throwing out there? If it was just a number, she probably wouldn't mind twice a week if you really need to.
And besides, one week with two calls isn't going to make a difference if most of the time you only do once a week.
Good luck,
sunnydays

I know what you mean. I'm always afraid to use anything I only have one of for fear I might need it more later. But if you need her now, I kind of think you ought to call. (Does it run calendar week or session to session? If it's session to session, the week is almost up.)

oh, I don't NEED to, just WANT to....
I called last week, or did she call me?????????????????
Hmmmm. Not sure. I think I may have used my call already....
I think.
God I couldn't stand it if I screwed up and she said something.
Sigh.
Thx for support guys.
Just nice to be listened to by those who understand :-)

Hi muffled,
hope your doc appt goes/went okay. That stuff is tough. makes the most reasonable people shudder. Men don't like to go to the doctor for some reason. Neither does Llurpsie, unless it's the pdoctor. Then I want to go so that I cen tweak something and feel kooky for a while.I got a new pdoc. He's older than my last pdoc. seems more... doctor-like, somehow. Gave me more klonopin.
Maybe you have a cold/illness? I hope doctor gives you majic elixir to take your ickies away.
Maybe it was just the dreaded annual check-up [annual throw-up]. I still haven't been to the obiegynie in almost 10 years. made an appt. had to cancel it.
back to the point- did you call your T? I'm sure your T would very much like to help you. Maybe it's okay to ask for help. I think you deserve all the help and support you can get. 2x a week is okay, esp. if it prevents ick in between appts.
take care of my muffled,
-Ll
