Thank you so much everyone, truly, for your perspectives. I am waiting to hear from T. To see how her adult daughter is and whether she was hospitalized, or is staying at home and mom (T) looking after her, or what. Also waiting to see when T will reschedule me. I figured if I don't hear from her today, I will reach out tomorrow via text and "check in" to see if she is willing/able to reschedule for this weekend. I don't know how old adult daughter is. I don't know why she fell. I do know she is old enough to have a twenty something year old son, so I figure she may be 40(s). I know way too much about T's family, I realize as I type this.

I've planned a mental health day for Sunday. I am going to stay home from Church, do self care, watch Aurora Teagarden DVD's and chill. Reduce my stress as much as possible. I also see my GP today and I know she will do a mini psych visit so that will probably be okay. I'm feeling better about things, how time tends to do for me. I also though have a nagging feeling like my harm to myself was not important. Kind of like how my parents literally ignored it for years and years. It's only been in the past three years that my parents have been willing to acknowledge it, talk about it, accept that it happens from time to time. T seems to be inadvertently sending me a message that this pain isn't important. So I am paying attention to that. Maybe I can talk to some other supportive people in my life about these feelings that have emerged and see what they have to say.

As for the difference between Urgent Care and ER is Urgent care can handle some things that you need to see a doctor for immediately and you can't wait to see your own doctor for a day or two. They really vary in what they will do. Some will do x-rays. Some will do stitches. Some will do just basic first aid or write a script for a virus. It really depends on the urgent care. I usually only go to urgent care if I can't get into my doctor and I have symptoms of a virus. Otherwise I go to the ER. So the fact that she went to Urgent Care instead of the ER makes it seem not as serious, but sometimes urgent care will refer a patient up to the ER if they can't handle it there at their facility. Urgent care is also cheaper. For me it's like either $30 or $50 to go to urgent care. GP is $30. Specialist is $50. Pdoc is $200. ER is $250.

Thanks everyone for your messages! HUGS if wanted, Kit
