I went to a new doctor yesterday. They gave me all the typical forms to fill out. Everything was fine until I got to the “Emergency Contact” section. It was at that point, that I realized, I no longer have an emergency contact. Until 2005, it was my Mom. Then, I moved in with Harry and he became my emergency contact. After he passed away in January, I moved back in with my parents, so it was back to my Mom. Now that my parents have moved across the country, I have no one. The closest family I have is in Maryland and in case of emergency, that is a pretty long drive. For now, I am continuing to put my Mom’s cell phone, which is still a 631 area code, so the ladies at the doctor’s office don’t give me funny looks. Let’s hope I have no need for an emergency contact anytime soon. If so, I hope its not first thing in the morning, or else, Mom will still be asleep in California.
