Thanks so much @berlinda . (((HeartHugs))) The procedures went smoothly and he's back home safe and sound. Whew. So full of gratitude right now.
I chose to stay out of the hospital and hang in the parking lot with a good book rather than taking xanax and trying to "fake it 'til I make it", which rarely fares well for me and those who have to be around me.
No fragrances/chemical shit storms to endure and make me sick, my nervous/respiratory/endocrine systems enjoyed the mountain scenery and birds, and the hospital staff and my husband were all very supportive of my decision.
He had already told me I didn't have to go in, but the deeply ingrained inner guilt kicked in and I felt I HAD to, but I was just a couple of minutes away by being outside instead and they had my cell #. My inner voice tends to be the most argumentative in these situations. Glad it can rest a while, until the next round of "what-ifness" thoughts visit.
