LC is anxious today, and she is taking it out on me: I have knots in my stomach.
Today's session may be the last one for me until 2019. Doesn't that seem like a long time? IT IS!
How am I going to get through this time without seeing T? Neither one of us likes phone sessions too much; she said we are both "old school," in that we prefer face-to-face meetings. I suppose we could Skype or FaceTime, but I don't think those systems are compatible with each other; she has one, I have the other.
Yes, I can see my Pdoc. I can see one of my T's colleagues. BUT. THEY. ARE. NOT. T! If I just want suggestions for how to deal, I can ask in various online places (like here. Note: I am NOT knocking PC. It and you have helped me tremendously over the years.), Facebook, or other places. I can reach out to friends. I can reach out to my wife. I can reach out to my place of worship. BUT. THEY. ARE. NOT. HER.
Someone suggested texting. I'll ask her.
Someone suggested taking a photo. I'll ask her.
She IS going to leave voicemail messages (the outgoing message) on her phone, but that probably won't be until a few days after her surgery.
I told her I wanted to know ASAP after her surgery, that she is ok. I don't think I'm going to get that.
As anxious as I am now, I don't even want to think about next week.
Pocket riders for the rest of this month, and the whole of December, are greatly appreciated. --Cool

Oh Cool how stressful. I am sorry this is happening. Not sure if you agree looking for ideas so if not please ignore the next part of this. I agree phone sessions are less than ideal. Last winter when travel was an issue for me T and I did like video sessions. It was not Skype or facetime because of confidentiality. She found a website that was HIPAA compliant. It worked well and we didnt need to worry about phone capatability.

Regardless, I know the next couple months will be hard. I am here if you need me.
