I am so sorry to hear about your recent ER visit. I work in a hospital (and so does my wife and about half of the other people who sit down at the holiday table), so I know what you mean about not wanting to go in unless you absolutely have to. I did the same thing when I passed Sputnik, er, I mean, my kidney stone. My wife kept trying to get me to go to the EC (because we have a Center instead of a Room), but I just kept getting ready for work despite the pain, nausea, and claminess. Finally the pain drove me to one knee and I acquiesced. It must have been a busy night, because the unit was full, so they put we on the nearly empty peds ward. This led to the hysterical scenario where a resident walks is with my chart in front of his face and said "Hello Mikey, how are you...oh, my you're a big boy, aren't you?" Sure, it's funny NOW. Actually, I think they had me on some mind altering drip, so it was pretty funny back then too. Hope this gives you a smile, get better soon. Erg! I am so sorry to hear about your recent ER visit.
