It lasted 3weeks and took two different antibiotics to finally clear up. This one came from some visitors that just had to stop in and see me even if they were sick. I just don't think people get it. One friend would keep her children away when I had a flare or was feeling very off, in case I gave them my RA. Not joking. But, if the children were ill over they came. I have learned to be a bit rude and leave the area ASAP If I notice and signs or symptoms of illness in others.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13974711523177551449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12707009.post-78114315680202381712015-02-17T15:43:35.812-05:002015-02-17T15:43:35.812-05:00TESTIFY!!!

I hate to say this, because I do not like to be negative all the time, but people are so self-absorbed that they just really do not care about anybody. I barely saw my grandgirls the whole month of January because they had the flu and then I got a cold, which I think I got it from the guy who was coughing and sneezing up and down the aisle at Wal-Mart. Gross. I was not willing to expose them to being sick again so we visited by text. When I was teaching we had parents sending sick kids all the time to school and you know how the schools love to let you be off and have to hire a sub when you get sick. As person with a compromised immune system it can take me two weeks just to get over a "simple" cold. Think I will link this post to my blog. Great rant. knittingyoyohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09861845709784123487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12707009.post-33616012244200664942015-02-14T00:20:32.766-05:002015-02-14T00:20:32.766-05:00Did I tell you about the time a woman I knew worke...Did I tell you about the time a woman I knew worked the cash register at a McDonald's on senior day - with strep throat? I ended up taking a couple days off with it, thank you very much.<br />I love having to go off on my co-workers every damn fall about that cold you get? could kill me. I also love having people downplay it, or better yet, get offended. <br />I think I should share this.khttp://dottedyellowline.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12707009.post-64177122512045050442015-02-13T22:18:45.061-05:002015-02-13T22:18:45.061-05:00A most worthy rant.

I'm so sorry this person's mindlessness has caused so many consequences for you, Lene--and I realize you were not referring only to yourself, but all of us, everywhere. I wish people would be more thoughtful. :o\L."Wren" Vandeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03587456557210335403noreply@blogger.com
