I don't mind hospital, either. I have been sectioned a couple times but... I think only the first time I didn't want to be there. The other times I sort of purposely upped the ante because I didn't want to be discharged. I can't remember how many times I've been hospitalized... Once in Aussie. About 2 weeks. The last time in NZ was ... For a week after I hurt my legs because the general ward didn't want to be responsible for discharging me. I hurt my legs because I was discharged in the morning... I had an exam scheduled for that afternoon. I'd been in hospital for, I think, two weeks before that. Had a shot of something. It made my eyes blurry and messed up my attention and I couldn't study / focus. It was a upper level paper. My hardest paper ever (behavioral psychology with a lot of statistics). I... Needed an A+ in the exam in order to earn an A- for the paper (my worst grade). I... Jumped off something. So I wouldn't have to do the exam. I figured I'd break an ankle or something. Actually... I didn't care whether I died I just wanted to make sure it would be serious enough to get me out of the exam.
Hows that for a miscommunication? Delay discharge for several hours and I wouldn't have needed to do that.
But now I sound like I'm saying they made me do it. I must take responsibility.
Silly me.
I don't remember.
Doesn't that make it so much better?
