It's good to hear that your hip has improved. That's great news. You are wise to think ahead about using a walker when outside, and I hope you'll be out walking soon. As far as therapy, a lot depends on how you and the therapist connect. After my son died, I saw a therapist, a grief counselor, and I must say that I think she helped a lot. I liked her. It helps to express your feelings to someone who is objective, I think, so I hope your next appointment goes well. I already know what I want to achieve. I want to meet a few people like myself who need companionship and could get together occasionally to chat or have a cup of coffee or lunch. Perhaps I should have greater ambitions, but meeting a few nice people sounds like a good start to me.
