This 4 week break is teaching me how far I've come in therapy, though. I am thinking about what I want to focus on in my sessions.
It can be nice to look back and see how far you've come. It is tough, though, when illness prevents you from doing what you want. I have more difficulty recovering from illness now that I'm in my 50's. Plus, I have MS, so that makes it harder. But, I've learned to accept what is, and make the most of my good days. Hope you feel better quickly, and glad your doc responded to your needs via phone. (At least virtual hugs aren't contagious!)
