Oddzilla (great name by the way!), Harry, Cindy, Claire and Shellie:
Thank you so much for being so open and willing to share, I appreciate it more than you can know...
I did call ahead to ask questions and it doesn't seem like it will be as bad as I thought. Between what those docs at the hospital told me, and what you have told me here, I feel comfortable going there. I will be honest about what is going on, it would be counterproductive I suppose to go through getting myself there and then holding things back. I used to work at this hospital in a different clinic, so 1) I have old coworkers there that would probably drop in, and 2) I know first-hand the food in the cafeteria is pretty good for a hospital.
It's funny, too, how much support seems to be there for me if I ask. It is so easy to let the depression cloud my vision... I have one person that is offering more support than I thought I could hope for, and even the people I told at my work are being very good about it. And all of you here really help -- thank you so much for responding. I will keep you posted on what happens - I think I am going in the morning.
Harry, I will leave my keys with my supportive friend just in case, but will leave out a bunch of food and water (and an extra litter box, it's a coincidence I just bought a new gigantic one) for the kitties and I am sure they will be okay : )
Thank you all so much, again -- you may not realize how much it means to me right now to know I am not alone. It gets so hard sometimes. I know you know what I mean.
