I'm so glad you made the heroic choice to go to the ER.

I'm sure they are more people out there in your situation than you think.

I know there are many times where I considered going to the ER feeling the same way. Knowing that you went, may give someone like me the courage to do so when needed when it happens again.

You are never alone.
