Car Wreck, No Data
Find a Conversation

I'm a nervous wreck. On the phone w/my AP, in the midst of deep conversation regarding breaking up (been trying to for weeks) - static, then disconnect. No answer to repeated texts, calls... so I drive around the neighborhood (I'd asked him not to come over, but I could tell he was), nothing.
Start calling hospitals, do that for 2 hours, finally on one of my re-calls, found him. He's been admitted, fairly quickly after the wreck. Because of HIPAA, I can't find out anything. They rang the room, his wife answered (he's MM, I'm OW), I hung up of course.
So, now I'm just pacing, crying and freaking out. He's in a room, he must be okay, but this is the worst. THIS is exactly why I hate being the OW. I have no rights, no power, no nothing. Because of HIPAA, they can't even tell me if he's stable, good, critical - zip.
But I don't care right this second... just need to know he's OK. Hope his BB was locked and she can't look at it - otherwise this is going to be the worst day for him. And me.
Tough day!

whoa!! that's a nightmare!!
so sorry -
Mrs.
Wow hon -
I wish I had a suggestion for you - but I guess you just have to wait and see - and yes - that was my WORST nightmare when we were still in an A - that he would get hurt and be in the hospital - and I wouldn't be told (even though she knew about me for a long time).
Can't imagine what you are going through!!!!
Praying for the best and hugs!!!
Try to be strong!!

It is the worst... visiting hours are up at 8:30, I'm halfway thinking I'll stalk the parking lot until she leaves, then sneak in and at least get a status.
If that doesn't work, I have the number of one mutual friend that I can call, but it would be pretty dicey. Would prefer not to have to ignite that fire if I don't have to.
She knows about me in the 'past tense', but not anything current. Unless the BB is unlocked and she connects it to the hang up call to his room.... but I think she would have called me by now if she'd put it together. Unless he's really injured badly... and now I'm crying again, and waiting, and wondering. 3 more hours....
I am so sorry. That is so very hard. I imagine that if he was severely hurt they would not have transferred you to his room, KWIM, so at least that is a positive sign although I'm sure not the reassurance that you want/need.
I hope that you hear something soon!
Hi all... I still know nothing. He's either been moved or discharged from the original hospital, but I haven't heard from him at all. I cannot even explain how I feel at this moment.
I cannot find anything on the web about an accident in our area... any good hints on finding out information? I don't want to intrude, just need to know if he's alive.
Help!
He's okay, was released from hospital all drugged up and called me around 10am.
Thanks for your support.
Whew - thanks for giving us an update Mw - let us know how he's doing when you can.
Hugs!
Tgr ;)
