Cause the computer just ate my post. LOL I'll try to summarize. I think I might smack the next insensitive person who I cross paths with. Not necessarily a good idea. I may need bail money so any volunteers to come get me afterwards please step forward? No takers? Dagnabbit! LOL
Should be happy... I used my spoons today to do yesterday's dishes, change the bed sheets, cook pasta, and type a chapter on my book. But I think I traded in 3 of them just to get mad and get glad again and ultimately my grandmother is right... "you got the same britches to get glad in you had to get mad in." Although I forgot to add to my list of spoons that I did at least bathe and change my "britches". LOL Wearing a towely turban right now. Woohoo clean feels good. I just wish I could clean out or organize my anger cabinet because getting bent out of shape really hurts with my particular cocktail of disorders. :D GG
Wish I knew a phrase to stop them in their tracks. Unfortunately you run across insensitive people all the time.
I recently went back to work after finishing R-Chop chemo treatments and shots. Wouldn't you know I had a fellow coworker ask me about possible remission? :P ::) Heck it was my first day back to work for gee whiz! I also avoided talking to a cousin on the phone during my chemo treatments as she always brought up someone that didn't make it or was doing just terrible. There are always these doom and gloom people out there who I think actually thrive on this stuff. Making others miserable that is.
The only thing I can suggest is to feel sorry for those people because for sure they have a heck of a worse attitude on life than we will every have. Glass is always 1/2 empty with them.
Maybe I used the wrong word "remission"? I meant to say the gal asked about the possibility of it coming back. :o
I'm a criminal defense attorney and ill be more than happy to help you "educate" the putzes.

OH Irish! Pisces24 has met my rheumy, Dr. Glum. LMAO! Irish wants to smack him. I just want to hang myself after a visit. He's so depressing. Okay. I never said I was smart with all this brain haze, but I can be a smarty pants. GG

Sic em, Stickgal!
I know pregnant women get the same gloom and doom. Whenever I meet a pregnant woman, who is very CLEARLY and OBVIOUSLY pregnant, I tell them, "May your labor be easy, and your joy a thousand times what you expected."
May you heal well, properly and find yourself in remission soon!

I have a pat facial expression I put on and a pat sentence I say.
I have practiced and practiced in the mirror until both are just automatic.
So when someone says to me, "Abbey! Are you still sick?" (or whatever insulting thing they still say...)
I jerk back my head back very slightly to look as though I'm trying to hide my surprise. I have my eyebrows sort of raised and pressed together at the same time, my mouth a little open in shock but a smile playing on the edges. YOU know the look -- as though I just can't believe what I just heard. And I look at the person with this sort of confused look on my face for two full seconds so s/he has time to play back what was just said.
And I say this: "Why would you say that to me?"
