Another Weird Therapy Appointment :/

I went back to voice therapy today expecting to work on strategies to help me when I'm having trouble and learn some new exercises. Much to my surprise (and discomfort) that didn't happen. The doctor asked me how I've been and noticed I was a little wheezy (which could have been great for practice I would think). After I answered, there was a long quiet and awkward silence. I decided to mention that I'd been practicing the breathing exercises I was taught by the therapist at National Jewish. She said that was good, wrote something on a paper, and asked if I'd like to come back in two weeks.  What??? Why would I come back? We just stared at each other in bizarre silence? I paid a $20 copay for a 12 minute twilight zone episode. This experience was just too weird for me. I found it funny to talk about, but not exactly beneficial. I guess I paused a bit too long because she said, "well, let's do three weeks instead". Great, that sounded like it just might interfere with my trip to Denver and I'll have to cancel ~ I agreed immediately and left!
