I'm at Highland House rehabilitation for physical rehabilitation. I am in a room with 3 people (including myself). Yesterday, after a night of chills and waking up but not being able to stay awake, I was also very weak. I asked to go to the ER instead of dialysis. Well what I need to say here is, "advocate for yourself ". Knowing my symptoms, they insisted I go to dialysis. When I still said I wanted to go to the ER, I was told they would "take no responsibility for my choice". Turned out, my choice was the best choice for several life saving reasons. In case of repercussions to myself, I won't say what the serious health reasons were. I will say I'm glad I stood my ground. ​
