I'm not sure if I have ever been as humiliated as I have been by the past hour. First, I have been in tears now for 4 hours. I just can't stop crying (it's great fun to cry on a plane full of people-- I guess you just hope they think someone died). To make matters worse, they told me they didn't have room for my carry-on bag and so had to check it through to San Fran and gave me 5 sec on the runway to grab anything I would need b/t here n there. Of course I didn't grab my meds, so all of this is no baggage, no meds, no PRN. So,
1. The flight to Phoenix was no big deal except for the fact that I had no PRN and cried the entire way (not sure why that one is-- crying is usually a symptom of much worse depressions for me which is what this feels like it's becoming)
2. After the flight in Phoenix I got to my gate over 30 min early and sat down to wait to board at 8:30. They started boarding at 8:30 and when it was finally my time at 8:40 or so they say "you have the wrong ticket-- you are going to San Francisco and we're going to whateverplace" You're f*&ckin kiddin me-- my meds and underwear and everything else had left for San Fran without me so I ran (note: I run like the new biggest loser folks) all the way to the other end of the terminal where they had apparently moved the gate at the last minute so I am running, gasping, and crying hysterically in front of packed rooms yelling "has San Francisco left yet" carrying a trash bag for luggage. The only silver lining on this horrendous day's very black cloud is that the flight to San Francisco is indeed delayed BY 3 MORE HOURS and hasn't left. So now, having hyperventilated, I am currently sitting in the one lonely place I could find in the airport to cry, cough, and sneezingly calm my way down with no PRNs. This is hell. I give up. This was a horrible idea and it's going to land me back in the hospital, and not the Stanford kind.
