[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 719611, member: 18958"] Hi culturanta. You sound tired. I read the doctor,s comment and recoiled. I am recalling here a psychiatrist telling me several years ago about my mentally ill son: he will never get better. He will live in a single room occupancy hotel on skid room. But you have never spoken with him, I replied. Everything you know of him is filtered through a mother's fear. To this he replied: when is it a good thing to not accept reality? I can see no way to justify either of these physician's comments. Of course, nobody is promising a rose garden. Or asking for one. Just the possibility that what will be real life, to emerge. In your case this may be a strategy by the MD to manage expectations. But why? Is this their role? Or a failure of empathy. Honestly. I do not get it. I was reading last night on neuroplasticity, retraining the brain to recover lost capacity. Norman doidge. The thing is nobody knows anything. Life is emergent. Brain science is in infancy. Why would these people need to believe they KNOW. Or more to the point. Act the part. I know the answer. I am thinking of y s. And you too. And the family. [/QUOTE]
