I am now recovering from bronchial pneumonia after ignoring cold symptoms that turned into a sinus infection and got worse. It is my understanding that I am susceptible to pneumonia, as I have had it before. Also, I smoke (quit for ten days and am going to do it again–this time I really mean it!!!)
Have also had a hell of a battle w/Medicaid, trying to get info re: the Medicare rx plan. FINALLY found out the info that I needed and now, of course, there is some sort of screw-up w/that Medicare crap!!!
That was on top of the battles that I was having w/joke rehab (vocational rehabilitation) and, I was also in a car accident that could have been a hell of a lot worse. I was NOT hurt.
Anyway, I found out a lot, who my friends really are (everyone has had some “false friends” that they are better off without), a lot about myself, specifically, what I really want to do w/my life, and what type of person I am.
Being sick does that to you. When I am sick, I am one of those people that wants to be left alone to die in peace and mourn the fact that I am not. Sure, compassion and consideration are nice, but don’t bug me. I have lost count of the number of times that I had to say to someone, “I am sick/hoarse. I am not yelling at you.”
My ex-husband was one of those people who wanted to be fussed over constantly when he was sick and I had absolutely NO patience w/him. (That’s probably one of the reasons that I got a divorce!) Once, when I was sick, he actually called in sick from work to stay home and take care of me, if you can believe that. The following day, I yelled at him to go back to work. (He actually asked why I was mad at him.) Talk about a wimp!!!!
Anyway, that is why I have decided to write a bit. I feel a bit better, but I have a dr.’s appointment tomorrow. So I am making this short and sweet and taking a poll.
Here we go:
