Judy,
I too am thinking of you.
I voluntarily admitted myself to a local hospital about 2 years ago (night before mother's day, 1999). I consider it the single best thing I have ever done. But it is risky. You have to make sure you go to a good, private hospital, where there are good doctors & nurses, and where you will be treated well. My week at "El Camino Resort & Country Club" as I call it was 100% positive. I was lucky. I met other patients there who had been at other hospitals and weren't so lucky. And unfortunately you are not in a state of mind to go around evaluating hospitals.
DO take care of yourself. Try not to be alone. Remember, we all care.
