I understand what you have been feeling. I went through a similar experience myself, but I was on vacation in a foreign country, so I had to put a public face and "enjoy" the rest of my vacation after my discharge from the hospital. (((agma))) I thoroughly emphasize and support you to continue to post at PC. I like to add that I share the shame too as although I was in a foreign country nearby shop keepers would point me out or give me a look that indicated they knew I was the "crazy tourist". I knew the word for crazy in their language so I heard that often. Even the local cops whose beat was in the neighbourhood indicated they knew through their body language and stares.
