I feel like an idiot!

I took my husband to the hospital for his checkup on his circulation problem. He became ill while we were waiting to see the doc. I told the secretary that he needed help. It turns out that they thought he was having a heart attack/stroke. They addmited him for more test.

The hospital is two hours away and I did not have anything with me including my meds. This was supposed to be a routine visit. Well at 3am. I was wondering around the hospital unmedicated and very manic. Some staff person took me to the ER because I was out of it. After they figured out who I was they gave me my meds and was watched for a while. I eventually leveld out and came back to reality. I just feel so very very dumb now. I can't believe I was that out of it that quick.

I am sorry that you have such a quick reaction to not having your meds. Maybe you need to carry them with you from now on. A hard lesson to learn for sure. I know I wouldn't have thought to take mine with me either. I am glad you were in a place that could help you so quickly though.

You're not an idiot! There's no way you could know either that your husband would have worse problems just going in for a checkup or that you'd need your own meds so soon, that it would take so long.

Sorry you had to go through that but I'm glad you were at a good hospital who knew you instead of on an extended shopping trip or just out somewhere you decided to stay at for a day or two. Now you know.

You are not an idiot at all. There are just things that are not under our control. It's not your fault. I am glad they helped you at the hospital. And, I hope your husband is doing ok. Take care.

You are not an idiot, you were taking care of your husband, and the stress/fear of his emergency was enough to trigger things.
I'm glad you got the meds you needed, and hope all goes well for you and your husband.
Don't be hard on yourself.

Thank you everybody for being so supportive. I just wanted to let everyone know that my husband is OK! Thanks again!
