@Oneironott fwiw I had to go to an urgent care place recently (spider bite yaye!) and it was, if anything, easier, faster, and smoother than any doctor's visit I've ever had.
it's totally ok if you decide not to go of course, and @Jssra 's advice is spot on. if you can't have somebody be physically present, try to stay online with us for a while, yes?
we care about you, hon. *gentle hugpets and soothing headthoughts sent*
@Oneironott @green Do your roommates know what happened and to check on you when they get in? (Were it me, I'd have whoever got home first wake me up to see how I was doing.)
@Oneironott @Jssra we'll be thinking of you and keeping a virtual ear and eye open as well, hon.
