Guest guest Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 Cheryl My name is Dorothy and I live in Hudson NY which is south of Albany about 30 miles and about 160 miles north of NYC. The lady I was talking about yesterday is a co-worker and she is marrying a man whose Mom has LUPUS and she bad mouths her mother-in-law to be something awful. She started in again this morning that the lady is going to a center somewhere locally for a couple of days because she is continuously having seizures and they want to watch her. this morning started running her mouth that she needs to go COLD TURKEY and get rid of all of the meds that she takes and she would not be sick any longer and the seizures would stop. I just wanted to scream at her and tell her to shut up and do some research on seizures and Lupus and maybe she would understand some of what this lady and I are going through. I just sat back and tuned her out and started my work and got my morning coffee and decided that I was not going to let her get to me today. She is totally ignorant of what we go through and does not want to hear it even though she sees it all the time when she goes to her house. She just says that the lady is pure lazy and that is all there is to it. Now mind you, this lady works 2 jobs and one she is a nurse's aid or something along that line. When she gets complaining about how rotten she feels she complains all day long. She is a hyperchondriac (SP?) and has a new ailment each week. She went to a doctor a while back and he ordered her to go for a blood test because they thought she was getting too much iron as her OB DR told her to take pre-natal vitamins and she was already taking something else and they did not tell her to stop whatever else she was taking. She never went for the blood work as she is a coward about needles and the office keeps calling her at work and she always has some kind of excuse as to why she has not gone for the lab work. She wants to get pregnant right after she gets married in Sept. and I asked her how she was going to handle all the blood checks etc. that they do when you are pregnant and she did not have an answer for me. The sad thing is that she is only 25 and she says her boyfriend is like that too. I feel sorry for the kids that she does have as they will always have something wrong with them. Oh well enough of this --I just was in so much pain yesterday that every word that came out of her mouth irritated me. Plus she has a loud voice to start off with. She is the type that she thinks that she and her family are better than you are and God forbid that most of us weigh more than she does. "FAT" people just don't have any control over themselves, yet at one time she told us that a few years ago she weighed over 200 lbs and she is just 5 feet tall and now weighs between 150 and 160. She refuses to associate with you outside of work because you are fatter than she is. That is OK because one day she will be gaining weight again and will have a hard time losing it. Well got to go for now. Have a meeting at school tonight and they are providing us a meal so must run.
