I think we would all like to hear how the little jerk :) behaved today.

LOL Yeah, that little jerk! Ha! I told him I down graded him from a big jerk to a little jerk!
I told him how he made me feel and he didn't realize he was "off" the entire session, not just at the end like he thought. Well he told me what had him so anxious, and it was a biggie, I understand why he was anxious, it was something rather serious, but I rather not say on the boards. I get the impression he might be reading my posts.
Well he said we both learned a lesson, my lesson is when someone isn't acting right, it might not having anything to do with me, and his lesson is that even though he tought he was acting okay, he learned that he wasn't and it effected his clients.
I couldn't talk to much about the "elephant" in the room, I chickened out. But I do plan on talking about it. I just need to feel connected again, and I do. I also learned not to say IF you have an appointment, please call. I should say call me back d*mn you or else. Then he will take it more seriously. LOL Okay, so I know now, that little jerk of him, is off the hook for now.
Now I just have to worry about my T dying while running around me on the track. Sh*t! Then he takes my recomendation for a good lawyer to prepare his will today. I just thought about that! Sh*t! What a day!

I'm sorry Happyflower.
Perhaps that's one of those things a client really doesn't need to know until it's certain. Is it just in the testing phase?
I suspect my therapist wouldn't tell me about a serious health concern until he had emotionally dealt with it himself, and until he was certain.

I am okay with it, it isn't like a fatal diease or anything, but it a condition that could be fatal if he doesn't treat it when he feels it.
Asthma is like that too, it can be fatal if you don't reconize the symptoms.
I am glad he told me, at least I know it wasn't me he was upset with. If he didn't tell me I would probably just worry that something was a lot worse wrong with him. I know a lot about his other conditions and I was okay with it. I am glad he takes very good care of himself. I think I even knew before he did. I remember 3 weeks ago he looked bad, and I did say something to him like he looked tired. I do have a keene sense when something isn't right. I am glad he was honest with me.

Ah, in that case it's ok. It sounds as if he takes care of himself.

This is an incredibly valuable lesson!
I'm glad he leveled with you, and that you are feeling better about him.

Hi Happyflower,
Fantastic that Little Jerk leveled with you on why he has been anxious. He might not have felt comfortable saying anything until he knew what treatment he'd need and the long term outcome of it. Glad you cut him some slack on that.
Don't run him over on the track, just leap over him.

hi happyflower,
I'm really glad it's not fatal. It's horrible when someone I love gets sick, and I bet you feel the same way. It must be at least somewhat of a relief to know that it's manageable! :)JenStar

Well I could TRY, but he is like a foot taller than me, it would be hard to do! LOL I did see him today at the gym, that little jerk! LOL

Thanks Jen,
Yeah, I am glad he is okay too. What is really strange it that I was checked for the same thing over a year ago. I didn't tell him yet. There is just so many weird stuff we have in common, it is unbelievable ya know. I do care about him and his well being. I can't help it.
