Lots of blood drawn, still in ER

They say I should be home tonight, as long as blood work stays in line.

Do you mean the 988 crisis line? There's no shame in it. I've been there.

you dropped a trigger word and the hospital discovered a problem. Happy to hear your neighbors were able to watch LilGlad.

So it's a good thing you reached out when you were feeling lonely. I felt the same way. Still do. You are not alone.

Take good care of you, because we need you here!

Dangerously low blood sodium (potassium was too low, as well).
It was the side effect of a psych drug to which she had recently changed.
It will definitely screw up one's health.
She probably would have gone into shock and perhaps died if we didn't go to the ER.
Those electrolytes are nothing to mess with.
Take care & get well soon.

I thought it was 988.

https://988lifeline.org/

A few months back when I was feeling a bit depressed, I sent a chat to it. I connected to some woman that stated she was in another state, she just made matters worse. I got the impression English was her second language. It was probably some Indian at a call center.

Never call 988.
