If the therapist doesn't think she might make it, she should have rescheduled to a time she could be more sure. I know the reader certainly didn't want to miss time with her T, but the "not knowing" part would drive me bonkers. Time is a funny enough thing with T's with all kinds of sharp rises and declines. We have a routine built in with our Doctor. He comes and gets me at exactly the right time, and then I appreciate him on the other end and try to leave exactly at the right time. There is a clock over my head for him to see and a clock on a ledge in front of me that I can see. If we're having regressions he might remind me/us we have only five to ten minutes left. We ALL know what that means. If he does something like come in five minutes late (another meeting), we get five minutes at the end of our meeting. It's funny ... almost the first thing each session ... we say something like - "I see about 3 1/2 minutes." This means this is what I see - are we in agreement. Most often both are pretty honest about the clock. I've never been put in a situation where I don't know in advance if we should or shouldn't go in. Since our doctor's office is 60 miles away (one way), I'd be pretty pissed if she/he decided to cancel last moment. You can see how close we watch the valuable minutes/seconds ... to miss a whole hour? Wouldn't be respectful. Might as well schedule for 4-5 EXTRA to work it out! Definitely this writer needs to iron things out so that SHE can trust the time given specially to her too.</p></div></li></ul></div></div></div></div></div>
