"I love you," he says quickly, because he knows they're about to whisk her away, probably eventually behind some doors that Ted can't follow through.
He grabs his crutch and hobbles along after as best he can, but sure enough, soon he's faced with a door he's not allowed through and pointed to a waiting room.
No one else is here yet, and he doesn't have his phone, which is still with Sherlock. He assumes they'll find him eventually. So he talks to the hospital people, lets them know who he is and who he's waiting for news on. That he just needs to know Joan is okay.
The waiting room is fairly sparse, so he sits down somewhere away from anyone else there, and he undoes his tie and takes off his suit jacket.
He sits there, and he covers his face with his hands for a bit, then sits back, and after several minutes of waiting, he can no longer keep himself from crying.
