Therapist?

[days_unfolding]

Talked to Mom. She's getting a transfusion today and one tomorrow, and then she'll be discharged. Her doctor wants to see her right away though. She's antsy to get out.

I found some free German courses online. I want to hear the language more.

I think that I found a therapist whom I'd like to try. She's in Bloomington, but she's taking virtual appointments right now. She takes my current and future insurance. And she's LGBT friendly. I guess that I need to find out how the insurance will work with virtual appointments. I did email her, so we'll see. She emailed me back and wants to do an initial consultation with me. I emailed her back with my availability. She said that she'd connect me with her payment manager to check on my insurance if I want to work with her.

Well, I went to take a nap but couldn't sleep. So I noodled around on my phone until past the time for my nap. I did get some laundry started.

And I think that I should get ready for bed because I overslept today.

Is your mom feeling better?

LGBT friendly therapists exist? I'm shocked!
Glad you found a therapist, they can be very helpful. I hope it works out the way you want it to.

Have you been on the Deutsche Welle website? They have news in German read slowly (not mega slowly but slower than on German TV).

Fingers crossed that the transfusions really strengthen your mom. What is her health issue, if that's not being too nosy.

And again, fingers crossed that this new therapist works out for you! Let's hope the insurance thing is a go. I resent the fact that our insurance can dictate what providers we see and what kind of care they can provide in turn.

I subscribed to a couple of podcasts, one is even “German news read slowly”, even though I still don’t understand much, I’m hoping “being surrounded” by the language would help me somehow along the way!

I like the new therapist, so I hope that it will turn out well.

No, I'll have to check it out! Thanks!

My mom has a bunch of health problems. She had surgery for lung cancer, and then doctors wanted to do chemo but her multiple myeloma was making her hemoglobin low. The new treatment was supposed to help her body make more red blood cells, but she had a bad reaction to the treatment.

I like the therapist, so now she will get me in touch with her payment manager to check about the insurance.

Liking someone is good, especially a therapist! I hope you're comfortable with them as well.

I'd like to hear more German because I'm having problems with pronunciation.

Oh your poor mother. That is terrible. I will hold all good thoughts for her improvement. And it can't help your situation, worrying so much about her.

Good luck with the therapist! It sounds like a really good fit.
