Who do you write down as your Emergency Contact? Why did you pick this person?

My daughter. Because when I think of emergency situations, I think of her first.  If she isn't close at hand, then my spouse, then if he's not close by, a list of names runs thru my mind, and I pick the next likley person. Preferably somone close.

I remember when I ended up in the hospital, they were not going to let me leave after my ultra sound, and you know, I could not think of who to call.  The person would have had to be in the same city, and me calling would not have had to inconvenience them.  silly how we think like that.  Here I am about to have emergency surgery, and I am thinking of not disturbing others while trying to meet my need to have someone there with me. In the end, I ended up going thru 2 surgeries, by myself, with no emotional support, no one to hold my hand, no one to tell me I was going to be okay, that the hurt of the lose would heal over time.

Doh, who woulda thought that this question would bring out such a response.
