lockdown!

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

I got sent to a semi-lockdown (ok, ok, if you got near the doors you’d get tackled) because some dipshit therapist thought because of my past history I was a danger to myself. First visit, he’s asking my past history, a 1-10 scale of the likeliness I’d off myself (I give a 3, 10 is the likeliest). He tells me I need to be hospitalized despite the fact the day before my psychiatrist, who I’ve seen for years and years, didn’t feel I was in need of hospitalization.

I missed a day of school and my brain was ready to kill itself out of boredom. It’s not Girl, Interrupted in there, it’s dull. I never realized how dull it was before. Happy Mothers Day to my mom, I guess, I got put away for five days.

So today I’ve been studying and catching up and eating normal meals. The food in there is shudder-worthy and I missed out on three and a half days of study time.

I did indeed cancel the appointment the hospital made with the guy who got me locked up. I know I should have put up a fuss but he made it sound official (he’d call my mother and the hospital and whoever necessary to make sure I was there). Next time I’ll say unless the police have me in cuffs I’m not going to go in over completely garbage reasons like that. I was not going to do anything. He didn’t even ask me if I’d contract for safety. Ugh.

mother in the hospital

Monday, April 13th, 2009

My sister called 911 on Friday because my mother was in a lot of pain, so much she was throwing up. She was in the ER for a bit, then was sent home (cheap bastards) and told to go to an urgent care. Then on Saturday my father took her to a different hospital and she has been there ever since. She had surgery this morning. She’s supposed to be there for a couple more days if she continues to get better.

It’s horrible seeing my usually active mother this way. Seeing her after the surgery was hard, I’ve never seen her so helpless. She couldn’t even drink water, somebody has to get something, moisten it, and put it into her mouth. She was running a fever when I left and I hope it’s just the usual after-surgery shock to the body and not a sign of something more serious.

There was no Easter (definitely not, since she can’t be a part of it).

Let’s wish for a speedy recovery for her. :)
