Sometimes we just don't realize how difficult things will be when dealing with a medical issue. It sounds like that may be the case for your therapist. I hope you can find a way to understand that your therapist needs to take care of herself right now and is having to put this boundary in place for her own health and well-being.
It's true that neither one of us knew exactly how to handle the situation.

But as to "extending" the texting...she didn't. The texting only began when she started her medical leave.
