I'm really glad to see this news Jacquie!

i too would not want to be "committed" in order to get better meds... and the whole situation becoming a legal process was sounding scary. it sounds a lot simpler now. i am wondering if that first hospital was not trying to milk you guys / insurance for money by making it appear hard to get out... sounds like the advocate got things straightened out.

would still like to hear back, get confirmation from you, that hubby is "safely" checked in as voluntary in the new facility - which i take it you have checked out somewhat, and have reasons to place trust/hope in them.

i hope your tummy settles down. i find that plain baked potato is soothing and decent sustenance when mine is upset, if you are looking for something mild to "test" with...

(((hugs)))

Thanks, waves, for the potato tip . My daughter-in-law made rice lst night, and I mostly ate that with just a few cooked veggies thrown in!

I think my tummy will settle down now that I have the GOOD news I've been waiting for... I'm gonna tease you and make you look at my new thread .
