Hi everyone.

T has been in the hospital since Sunday. Don’t know exactly all that’s wrong except she told me her blood pressure is out of control. I don’t think she has Covid bc we had a telehealth session the day before…

My T is about 75 years old and she needs to get well.

Remarkably, she invited me to text her. I text her once a day with a funny memes or cute TikTok hoping to get her to laugh. I don’t want to bother her..but I want her to know I’m thinking about her.

How have you dealt with your T being sick?

Sorry to hear that your therapist is sick and in the hospital. You are very nice to text her. I'm sure it is appreciated and raises her spirits. I have never had to cope with a situation where my therapist was ill. Hopefully other members who have had similar experiences will see your post and respond to it in a kindly way. I hope everything turns out well for your therapist and you! Best wishes!

I'm sorry your t is sick and in the hospital, pre. It's so hard. When L had covid early on in the pandemic, I kept checking in with her like weekly (I was rather relentless about it I am ashamed to admit as I was so worried about her) until she told me she'd been admitted to the hospital with it, then I stopped emailing her so she could rest and not have to worry about me worrying about her. We'd been on a break at the time, I only found out she was sick because I'd called to try to schedule a session/end the break. She's going to be 72 this year so not quite as old when she was sick, but still up there. I'm glad you're able to text her cheerful things I'm sure that is helpful. I wish for a speedy recovery for her.

Thank you, Artie.
I understand the relentlessness and worry.

TMI, maybe, but I had a dream I received a call that she had passed away.
It took me a minute to realize it was a dream.

The fact that she can text me at all being sick, with an IV, etc., reassures me a little bit.

HUGS precaryous if wanted. I have never had a therapist in the hospital that I know of so I don't have any advice. Just wanted to send you hugs if you want them.

My T was rushed into hospital with a life threatening emergency (non covid related) a while ago now. It was terrifying and she was there for some time. The only thing that kept me going was the text contact with her. I'm glad you have that as well. I just hope your T will be home ASAP. I know how awful it is not knowing.

I don’t mind us not doing sessions. I just want her to feel better.
She is such a joy..

T texted she is home now. I asked if she could tell me what is wrong…
she told me it’s her heart and blood pressure.
But she adds,
“All will be well in time.”

I’m counting on it.

She just texted that she’s home now.
She still said,

“I’m here for texts anytime.”

She is remarkable!
