I just came back from the emergency room after spending a little over 24 hours there. They wanted to keep me in as an admitted patient for a few days, but I left against medical advice. I chose to do this because admitting me would've meant me sitting in a chair in the ER for 3-4 days before a bed became available, and I didn't want to do that. The reasons for this were threefold: 1, I have pets I need to arrange for their care; 2, I need to see to it that my truck is stored in a safe location, and; 3, I need to tidy up my apartment in case the manager comes in while I'm away. So I'm back at home. Things seem to be moving at a more rapid pace, and I expect to be in detox and treatment in as little as a few days. That gives me some small hope.
