i know the third question is a hard one, and probably not something you want to think about at all, but it's something that came to mind when reading your letter..

I haven't heard back yet. T did say she was taking a personal day today, and I imagine that could include not reading or responding to email. I hope I hear from her over the weekend. So far the waiting isn't making me too spiraley, but it could. Either way, I see her first thing Monday. I am planning on printing out my email and bringing it with me so I can remember what it says and hopefully we can talk about it.
As for your second question, 78, I don't really know. I think that was what I was asking in my email. At least, that's what I meant to ask.
And yes, I have thought about seeing another T. It is small consolation, because from here it is hard to imagine trusting another T the way I trust this one. But I do comfort myself a little with the idea that there ARE other Ts out there, and there is the possibility of me finding one that doesn't have some sort of rigid termination deadline in mind.
thank you all so much for your support. I feel you waiting for Ts reply along with me, and it helps. This is really scary, but it feels better to be facing the fear rather than hiding my face from it.
