In our town, we have a number for a Nurse-Direct. That number is affiliated with local hospitals and they staff a nurse 24 hours a day. They are there to answer questions just like yours. There is no charge for the service here. I don't know what it would be like where you are. I would not feel bad about calling. If you have a program like this, please use it. That is why they are there! Good Luck
