in-laws

[Guest guest]

Hey,

Isn't it strange what people think! My husband and I had been married 18

years when I had my " acute " onset. Was in the hospital for a couple of

weeks with an uncontrollable fever and they never came and saw me. Not

only that, she told my sister in law not to come because I was quaranteened

(sp)and had a big sign on the door!! Where she came up with that I'll

never know.

You gotta love 'em though----fear of the unknown I guess??!!**
