My health hasn't been brilliant recently. It lead to me being stuck upstairs for 4 days. As I live alone, this meant I didn't have anything to eat for those days as everything is downstairs.
Over the years, I've learnt not to expect even the slightest bit of sympathy from my family (I used to think that it was normal for you to be compared unfavourably to other family members and that any news about myself good or bad is not important).
I mentioned the issue on fb, not expecting sympathy or even comment.
Apparently, I should have somehow gone downstairs each night (despite the fact my legs were only just co-operating to go to the loo and, if I had gone down on my bum, standing back up would have not been possible) and brought some food up just in case my legs were going to be the same the following day.
Now it's been decided that I should somehow magic up the microwave upstairs and double my food spend for the month by buying ready meals that don't need to be frozen or stored in a fridge.
I've explained that my food budget cannot be doubled, to no avail, yet anything I say just seems to be ignored. It seems to have been decided that I have some unlimited source of money that I'm unaware of (that or they've bought into the "people on benefits are rolling in it" rubbish).
Is it just the case that, because they haven't been in this scenario, they just don't get it or understand?
