But isn't this a terrible waste of healthcare dollars- just to have someone to talk to?
Sorry to hear about the memory loss, that must be hard to deal with. It seems on the one hand that maybe you do want to have someone to talk to, but then on the other hand maybe not? Guess I'm a little confused. I don't know, but as someone who has been in and out of therapy several times.....with different therapists, it seems like it would be good to have SOME desire to talk if you're going to invest the time and money. Interesting what you say about waiting until the meds kick in....hmm. Sending good thoughts and hopes that you find some kind of comfort soon ~whimsy
