I've just been discharged but it's taking a while to get the paperwork through the system, so I'm still connected to the IV which has been my fifth appendage for the last sixth day. I asked them to take it off so I can begin packing, but they said it's the last thing that comes off.
I am taking (stealing?) the yellow blanket that I was given to indicate I was at high risk of falling to remind me of this horrible time in my life. I also took a picture of my IV machine or whatever it is called and made it the profile of my phone. I never want these days far from my mind. I start intense behavior therapy on Wednesday. Six hours a day. Besides the substance abuse, I have other personal issues going on which led to these patterns.
I guess I don't understand why 39 is a bad number? It's not great, but it seems within normal range?
Doctor who discharged said all vitals are fine now.
I'm also crying because I'm going home because the last time I was there was my lowest point ever. I'm not actually in a hurry to get there.
