Apologize that I get really angry at these kind of therapists.

Even if you had kind of opened door to medical talk, she is supposed to back off from it.

She does not know your medical history or the history that you have with your M.D.

Also, lots of people have loved ones with diabetes so they think they know more about it than they really do.

Totally agree, Mari.

I am open about my health problems with my pdoc, but that has been MY choice, and not a problem because she understands all my medical issues, and doesn't butt in unless appropriate..

Therapists are totally different. They don't tend to have the same kind of understanding of medical issues (and sometimes other things). My last one was a PITA about that **** and I often had to waste MY time explaining to her why her dumb suggestions wouldn't work.

Sometimes people just need someone to listen. Therapists should be able to pick up on those cues.

I am going to confront her and ask her why she was going against what the doctor recommended. I wonder what she will say. I am just touching my weight high again. who knows maybe he will change my diabetes medication.
I am so frustrated about my eating. I was safe until I almost went to bed. then I pigged out. I haven't checked ebay yet which is a good sign.I think I am going to eat a lot of eggs. I have been drinking maxwell house coffee again and like it so much better than the different keurig brands I have tried. I bought the do it yourself cups and will make my own. last night I had a sense of well being besides the eating and spending. I feel so relieved about telling on richard. before I would feel guilty and worry about getting him in trouble, especially since he has a three month old but this time I worried about myself first besides being grossed out.

I am glad that you reported/gave feedback about richard.
Think how many other people who received inadequate care.
Agencies need this feed back.
You did the right thing.
I am going to look at the spices link.
My weight is out of hand.

although i am still in a very good mood now I feel anger when something happens like when my therapist challenged me about testing for sugar a few times and of course richard, robert came over to help me and I got mad when he was showing off about the things he could do like touch his toes etc which i showed him i could do. I didn't know at this point if i could.
am still scared about spending

I was very worried about something the past couple of days but it was resolved and I still feel great even though i see richard soon. I won't tell him this is the last time. if he uses the bathroom this time i will time him for my own sake.
I think i will also ask him what he has been doing with his smart phone. I wonder if he can intimidate me.
I bought a new pair of shoes this morning that I have been watching for a month. I had to buy them in taupe. the navy ran out. yesterday I hardly ate so maybe this spending and eating are winding down. darn those shoes. they kept on coming up on ads on sites I visit and it worked for them-weak willed-so much one can take

I like that you are being more assertive lately and putting your own health and needs first

I am worried about my own spending, too. It is not under control. We have had a couple of sizable expenses like my glasses and the pot doc appointment, and i know I should be slowing down, but I’m not

yesterday i gave cecilia two sweaters and today i will try to give her another one. she liked them. I wanted them to be loose and they will be loose on her.
I am worried about going to mail the part of the coffee maker. yesterday after physical therapy I went out and almost fell through a glass door and then also feel a couple of more times on the same short trip-across the street, I was using my cane but my balance and weakness in one leg is a bad combination even though i have shown improvement. Last night I took a really bad fall and almost smashed my head. I was so lucky. I hurt the palm of my hand to cut the fall. I will try to be very careful. abby isn't feeling well. she doesn't have energy. she came to the bed and is sleeping. yesterday she slept most of the day. if she doesn't perk up tomorrow i might take her to the vet.
richard was much better yesterday. He said we have one more time this week and two more next week. then he might able to get me somebody else. his agency just does short term. He didn't use the bathroom. he took my vital signs and pulse and bent over backwards being kind. I called back the agency and told them and said I wanted him til the end and mentioned that he said he could get me another therapist.The manager listened and asked questions and said she still had to speak to her supervisor.
It went very well with Marci. she thought I was in my early sixties, she was shocked.
i am still up

Bobby,

Robert might be coming three more times and you might be getting a
longer-term therapist...That would be good it seems.

richard is coming over in a few moments. he knows I talked to his supervisors and even told them he picked his nose besides other things like not taking my vitals, watching his smart phone rather than me exercising etc
