Vaya, I'm glad you are letting the hospital deal with how he gets there. You say he will still bug you, and I'm sure he will as they always do. One thing that helped me was to stop taking my son's calls. If he had something to say to me he had to do it through text or email. That way it cut down on his whining because just saying something is so much easier than typing it. And it also allowed me time to process what he said as well as how or if to respond. And if he was able to text me I knew he was at least alive. You are in my prayers. Stay strong!
