So, I saw my Pdoc this morning. He assured me that certain difficulties I am currently experiencing are NOT the beginning of dementia. I'm not sure I believe him, but at least I might be a bit less anxious about the difficulties.

It's been almost 2 months that my T has been on medical leave. I can't remember (one of the difficulties!) if I've already said this (maybe I just wrote it in my journal?) but on her outgoing voicemail, T now says that she will do very short, brief, telephone check-ins with current clients who want one. I am not doing that, and I told this to my Pdoc, because I will always want "more" than a brief phone call (or, more accurately, Little Cool will always want more). It's less painful this way. If I want to hear her voice, I can always call her voicemail, and I do have photos of her, which on some days are more painful to look at, than on others.

I keep coming back to this Forum, for support, and usually find it here. ;-)

Hi Coolibrarian, I'm glad you saw your PDOC and that he was reassuring. I can understand what you mean about not wanting a short contact with T. I would want more than that too. It's good you have a voicemail to listen to and photos. I have that for Former T and it helps on the really bad days. HUGS Kit.

Cool, so glad you were able to see pdoc.

I can understand wanting the check-ins. On the one hand I would want to hear her voice but in the other hand it would leave me wanting more. I would also worry if I was taking to long on the phone. I am impressed how you ate handling things.

This board is a great place. These last almost 7 months have been hell. The people here are part if what keeps me going. There are times I don't always participate in discussions because some can be very triggering.
