Thanks Sunny. At my appt with my pdoc today we decided that it was in my best interests to check in for a few days. He said I can check out at any time I want and HIPAA protects my privacy. I know that my absence will create a hardship on my coworkers (actually only my boss...and the only way it will affect her is that she is going to actually have to work). Stigma or no stigma, my personal safety is in question. But I need to get going now, just stopping by to say I'll post when I get back home. I made an appt with our counselor for my husband because when I don't him I was being admitted, he just kept repeating that he just doesn't understand. I sure hope our counselor can help him understand.
