I just got out of the hospital a few hours ago. I feel like I talked my doctor into discharging me too early. I pushed her to let me go because I had class tonight. I'm not sure if I should have put class before my health, but I'm really regretting it. Would it be silly if I packed my things up, turned around and checked myself right back in?

if it's that bad, go back...if you're not safe.

Nope not silly at all. I've seen it happen. If you need to go march your butt right back over there young lady!

Quite the opposite!!! It would be terribly foolish to NOT go back in when it's what's best for you, just for fear of being 'silly'!!!!
You need to stay safe right now!!!
A class is not worth the toll it might take on you!!! This is one of the times to take a longer view at the bigger picture.
I'm sure in retrospect, you will likely see that when you feel that you should be in the hospital, that's the thing that you should do. Immediately, if not sooner!!!
Hang in there!!! You're doing the right thing by going back in, I think!!
Best of luck to you!!!!!
Take care!!

NO. If you are feeling you made the wrong decision, especially right after discharge, you are most probably right. I also think you should go back. Just tell them you didn't realize how bad you still were until you went back home.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
