Art, that's awesome!

Wow, 18 vials is a lot of blood! I'd be afraid I wouldn't have any left! I hope they at least were able to diagnose your illness from that, kecanoe!

As for T shopping, I'm wondering about that myself. I get the vibe my individual T is going to retire soon--she's of that age and VERY unhappy about their move to the other office. She just seems ready to go. At one point, she'd said she would give 6 months notice, but when I asked her recently, she said it would probably be closer to 3 months... (I mean, she has to know if she's seriously considering retirement by the end of the year, right?) So I don't know if I should be shopping now...though I guess I did some of that before when we had a rupture, so I should have many of those T's bookmarked. But, like, do I actually call them and make initial appointments? Do I wait until she actually announces her retirement? Do I ask her about it next session?

(Wish I could just see MC individually--and like H and I could get a different marriage counselor if we think we need one, but know that most likely couldn't happen for various reasons...)
