lawnrrdIt is apparently easier to get into Harvard Medical School than it is to get admitted as a patient to NYU hospital.
I waited for Lauren to return home. (We had tickets to see Hairspray for our anniversary. I couldn't go, but I insisted that Lauren go with a friend.) When she did, we left for NYU and arrived there around 11 PM. It was well after midnight, and no one had seen me yet, and I was told it would be at least two more hours. There were people who had arrived at 9 PM who hadn't been seen yet, and I overheard an EMT on the phone with someone else, telling that person not to bring a patient there because it would be at least a four hour wait.
Reasoning that I could be doubled over in pain just as easily on my own comfortable sofa as on a hard plastic chair, I agreed with Lauren that we should leave. So we did.
The pain comes and goes. Sometimes I can sleep. Sometimes I have to cry. Come the morning, we're going to call my doctor: if he wants me to go to NYU hospital so badly, he can damn well arrange to have me admitted properly.
Thanks to everyone for their kind thoughts and words. They mean a great deal to me.
