I'm not a great patient I must admit. I complain bitterly when I have a piddly virus yet can take major surgery without a whimper. I normally enjoy pretty robust health thankfully. Hospitals gimme the willies as well.Bainohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156193098088048637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-6229328273695543392008-01-07T13:08:00.000+11:002008-01-07T13:08:00.000+11:00"Chocolate starfish”What is the world coming to, H..."Chocolate starfish”<BR/><BR/>What is the world coming to, Heh he. I hope you don’t smoke in the house Miss Baino, your daughter being and asthmatic and such. I am not a moaner as such BUT when I was in hospital I was absolutely terrified I don’t know why but the thought of anyone feeling me up had me hysterical, I can’t understand it, rationale escapes me, I am deluded. I spent the whole time sitting on the newbie’s lap. Other than that I am generally a model patient :-) Ha!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-84383078658954994292008-01-07T11:08:00.000+11:002008-01-07T11:08:00.000+11:00Nick: My sister is the same, she's been suffering ...Nick: My sister is the same, she's been suffering from a chronic illness since she was sixteen but I've never met a more cheerful person in my life!Bainohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156193098088048637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-62035613174721751422008-01-07T09:10:00.000+11:002008-01-07T09:10:00.000+11:00How true that is, that the healthy feign all sorts...How true that is, that the healthy feign all sorts of dubious afflictions while the genuinely ill say little about it and just get on with life as best they can. I know quite a few people who endure serious pain and disability with the minimum of fuss, like my sister Heather who's had motor neurone disease for five years. There's nothing more boring and infuriating than people yakking on about their ailments. As you say, just take the medicine or visit the doctor and find something more interesting to talk about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-37029805060361356052008-01-07T06:33:00.000+11:002008-01-07T06:33:00.000+11:00Anony: Sorry to disappoint and turn you into a bli...Anony: Sorry to disappoint and turn you into a blithering baby!

She was talking, just the other day, about her plans to apply for college, and how she was feeling a little guilty because she planned on talking some about her disability, and "It really isn't that big a deal to me, I hate to use it like that."<BR/><BR/>"USE IT?? Mary, you can't jump. You can't run. You can't sleep through the night. If having this disease helps you get into college, that won't begin to address all of the ways it has hurt you in the past."<BR/><BR/>"Well... I guess. But I don't FEEL like I'm suffering."<BR/><BR/>I just love her. And it reminds me that perspective is a very important - and rare - thing.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778318185310548615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-80780794081024675432008-01-07T00:48:00.000+11:002008-01-07T00:48:00.000+11:00Thank God I am healthy.Thank God I am healthy.Ropihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17214991557644729165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-39114171465726635252008-01-06T23:40:00.000+11:002008-01-06T23:40:00.000+11:00Baino - where would we be without you?
