I can stay safe till tomorrow. I will drive myself to my T's office after IOP tomorrow (unless I have a total meltdown there). She said she would help get me to a hospital... I don't have it in me to go by myself... The ER wait sucks, and they take forever to take me back. At least if my T helps me get there, I'll be there with no backing out. It's still voluntary, but it's just easier that way.
Knowing my wife only has to take care of 2 geckos and the snakes while I'm gone will make things easier. And I have to drop off the rest of the geckos with the lady from the rescue later tonight. It sucks, but I'm so overwhelmed... it's not fair to them.
Got my paperwork in order too, so if they deem me incompetent, my wife will take over my medical decisions (and everything else). That makes me feel better about going inpatient again. It's incredible how you lose all your rights (including confidentiality) when you check yourself in somewhere down here. I know HIPPA's a national thing, but I think S. FL is it's own country and has decided not to follow those mandates... I would have filled out a living will, but if anyone challenged it, they would win. So, whatever. The POA and Healthcare Surrogate should be enough.
I have to go make sure I have enough containers for the geckos... I meant to get more while I was out today, but I forgot, and I'm out of money now. oh well. There's 2 I can't bring myself to give up... I probably should, but I am very attached to them. One I have had since 2007, the other my wife got me last year for my birthday. Maybe I will ask someone to foster them for me for the time being. One girl that's not too far away had mentioned she could a while back. I'm not sure she still has the space, but I could always ask.
