Hospitalization tomorrow, or maybe not

I had a meltdown this morning when I saw the pdoc. She wants me admitted right away. She called my husband, and my husband and daughter are flying out today and should be here tonight.

I feel strangely calm. I feel like someone is going to take care of me. I've actually been doing a few things around the house--paid some bills, starting dinner early.

Or maybe it's just random mood variation.

Here's the sticky part: my insurance will pay for either 80% or 90%, less deductible, depending on whether the hospital is in network BUT my doctor has been unable to convince the case manager that admission is "medically necessary". The fact that I am less and less able to take care of myself and my 13-yr-old son is unconvincing, or that I have taken a dozen ADs with no response. I get the sense I would have to make a suicide attempt to get admitted. Is this crazy or what?

I'm supposed to go to the ER tomorrow morning.
