Hello all.
you were right on the money cubic_me. When my hubby and I arrived to meet with pdoc and T, that was the consensus. My pdoc asked if I wanted to go into specifics with hubby in room or go straight to treatment plan, I said tx plan. They both agreed they wanted me to go to the hospital ('right now'). After that the conversation was going in and out. But I agreed-hubby drove me home picked up clothes...etc. and got checked in. just got out yesterday right before T appointment (with the T I’ve been WAITING for)-
I can’t say for sure that I would have died this weekend but I can tell you with 100% assuredness (real word?) that I would have made the attempt.
Infact, they didn’t even take my ‘purse’ from me, they took my inhaler and a small perfume bottle but my xxx was left in the bag. Saturday a different nurse was ‘incharge’ of me and asked how I was…I said assured that I need to die, she asked how and I said everything I see is an opportunity not mentioning the xxx. After a little more assessment she looked through the drawers and saw my bag and because of the 'straps' locked it up, a ½ hour or so later I broke down in group and went back to my room bawling. The nurse came in and asked what triggered this and I said that she took my bag and I told her about the xxx. She wanted to see it (maybe didn’t believe me) I took it out and showed her. She asked if that was my original intent and I said no, but that it was my ‘option’ and that she took that away.I can’t even think about had that 'assertive' nurse not been on duty that day where I might be at right now.
See dr. Bob, sometimes i say that this is a ‘lifesaving’ place because of the emotional support (which it IS).
but it was here that someone suggested that I write a letter, which I wrote, the right people got it and I got help. So though I’ve said it several times before from an emotional stand point, I’m going to say it again in a physical sense…babble saved my life.Thank you all. For the words, thoughts, prayers and support.
I’m still a little shaky and ‘out of it’ but i’ll try to pop on tomorrow for a bit.(alive)B2c.

I am so glad and relieved that you are here with us today. May sound corny, but perhaps sometimes we do get a guardian angel, and yours came in the guise of an assertive nurse. Whatever it was, you are here to tell your story, and for that I am truly grateful.
The road is long, with many a winding curve, but I hope you know in your heart that when the journey becomes tiring, there will always be people there, both IRL and here at babble, to pick you and carry you when you need it.
My thoughts are with you. Sending you lots of strength and healing vibes.
Tamara

Ditto from me.
I didn't see this thread before I posted hoping you were okay. I'm so so glad to hear how it went with your meeting and that you made it.
Good for you! What strength that must have taken! And I bet you weren't feeling strong at all. But making the decision to ask for help takes great courage. I'm so happy for you.
And I'm so glad you had a better experience and that the assertive nurse was there.
Life is full of so many small miracles that pass us by unnoticed. I'm glad this got noticed. And I'm glad you are back with us.
Hope your new T is worth the wait. I know you felt good about him before.
Keep us posted as you can.

Thanks all SOOO much for your support and cares.
i can tell my AD needs to be bumped up a bit, but at least now i can talk about it to my pdoc.
the date has past...i can't tell you how convinced i was that i needed to die.
i'm still kind of in an 'unreal' state but i think i'm glad i'm ok.b2c.

So glad that you made it and are getting what you need - and most of all, that you were able to ask for it by writing your message.
