Got a little too emotional last night. Sorry I wasn't here on SANE, I was at the Emergency Department of a metropolitan hospital with the Mrs. Her GP called her and told her to go immediately to the ED for review as her illness could mean she was in dire straights and she could go blind suddenly and permanently. We spent forever up there and with much poking and prodding they sent her home with follow up to come from a specialist. I got emotional when she went for a scan, I don't even know why. I think it was all the noises of other patients in pain and suffering and all the noises of the hospital plus the reason why we were there... it just really got to me. I feel like a fool now because I should be the strong one right now.

Honestly @outlander, I feel kind of stupid. I panicked when I shouldn't have. The only reason really that hospitals trigger me so much is because I used to work in one and was treated rather badly by colleagues when my diagnosis became known. I was always upfront and honest, but that was my downfall. Being in a busy hospital environment is just a major trigger for me because it brings back memories of the bullying I endured at the hands of supervisors and bosses.
