With the personal v tele-visits, I did the televisit thing during the pandemic shutdown. I was seeing a new therapist, I think I saw her in person two or three times before we had to shift to phone visits. We did that for almost a year. They sessions were helpful but not the same as our conversations in person. I only use cannabis for treatment, it's been my life-long self medication and has helped me stay sane so I'll stick eith it, doesn't upset my digestive system like pharmaceuticals do.
Hope it all goes well so you can settle in and have a pleasant holiday! I'm staying home, mostly, this week. My buddy wants to spend Tuesday together, make dinner and play games. Another friend, part of my adopted family, sent me a box of presents so I'll open those Wed. morning and call it good. I opened one already and it was such a great gift, not minted toothpaste! 3 tubes! I'm seriously allergic to mint and brushing my teeth is a multiple times daily misery of untold proportion unless I want to use something that is too sweet, like bubble gum, yuk. Kind of defeats the purpose.
Anyway, I hope you have a pleasant day and that the weather, and kitties, remain calm until you're ready for it.
