I Feel Terrible
in Married Life
H has been battling an upper respiratory infection all week. He apparently gave it to me because I have felt like crap since Thursday. However yesterday I got off work super early, and decided to start dinner prep and clean the house. I was actually feeling pretty good. Then my neighbor knocks my door (he is a good friend of H's) and asks if I can drive him to the ER.
Spent 5.5 hours there with him before his family came, and I guess the cold of the ER set off my symptoms, because I left feeling like absolute crap. Came home and crashed. Feel even worse this morning. Now I feel guilty that the bathroom and kitchen are wrecks and dinner never got made because I dropped everything to take him to the hospital. It's a good thing I did, because he was in the beginning stages of Ketoacidosis, and could have died. I know I shouldn't feel bad, but H has been doing most of the cleaning since our talk, and I wanted to contribute. Now all I want is to curl up in a ball and die.

Re: I Feel Terrible
im the same way!! just take it easy and dont over do it. you need to rest to get better!
Suppose something happened to him en route to the hospital? They'd have been better equipped to handle the emergency.
Hoping your friend feels better soon.
I'm smart enough to know when to call an ambulance, but he was just having left side abdominal pain. Since everything important is on the right, we weren't that worried about it. He only went to the ER because he is uninsured.
