Thanks Trish. I have more good stuff to talk about re the hospital funnily enough. There were 5 of us who struck up this amazing conversation and we were laughing and joking. It was a Friday night and with 4 serious car accident victims before us we knew it was going to be a long one. The nurse was very apologetic for the long wait ahead of us. I told her it was okay, I'd rather be in my position than their position! The five of us in emergency had so many interesting tales to tell about our travel and living experiences in all corners of the globe. I was called first and they were so warm to me in my parting, it was lovely. The medical staff were lovely and the psych staff were predictably miserable and within 6 hours I was allowed to go home. But the intake officer who assured me I would be put in a cab to go home had finished her shift. I negotiated that I would be allowed to sit in the waiting room until first light and walk to the train station. I reminded myself I was safe and not in any gulag. I told myself I was on a very quiet flight to Europe with excellent leg room . I got 4 hours sleep and rested for another 3 hours. I went to the parents room to get changed in fresh clothes, brush my teeth, wash my face (much more room to change than any other plane I've been on! hahaha). I didn't want to ask for a cup of tea because i felt I would feel angry if they said no. I told myself that by not asking I would guarantee not getting what I wanted. I said to the receptionist. As you know I've been here for over 12 hours. I haven't had anything to eat or drink and I'd really love a cup of tea before I set off for my walk to the train station. She cheerfully asked how I have my tea and gave me some biscuits as well! I felt really grateful - and told her so after I was finished and headed out to find the station. It reminded me of walking around London as a backpacker trying to find St Pancreas station at first light - and I feel really happy inside, remembering that special time in my life. I slept on an off yesterday and slept for 12 hours last night to make up. I'm still taking it easy because I know I have been through an upheaval with my sleep and need to find equilibrium again.
