I haven’t been very well lately. I was discharged from hospital yesterday. I’m nearly there with a diagnosis but tests so far have been pretty conclusive. I’ll be back in hospital shortly under the care of a specialist, and there’s a long journey ahead. It’s all been very sudden and upsetting.
This morning, my friend asked if she could come to my house to visit me as she wasn’t able to while I was in hospital. She knows all the health stuff.
She stayed for about an hour, brought me a lovely gift, we had a great chat and I enjoyed it.
I texted her later to say thanks again for calling and the gift and she responded to say “It was lovely to see you. I’m glad you’re feeling so positive and am confident you’ll fight this. Have to say, I got a bit of a fright when you first opened the door and I saw what you were wearing- I though you’d already given up! xx”
When she called, I was freshly showered and had blow dried my hair but it wasn’t especially styled. I had no make-up on and was dressed in a pair of navy tracksuit bottoms (cotton type, not shiny sporty ones), a grey t-shirt, navy slip-on runners. Clothes were freshly laundered, not wrinkled or stained etc.
It’s not like I’m overly glam on a typically day either. When we meet up, I’d normally have make-up on and probably jeans and a casual top.
I’m probably a bit paler than usual, and I haven’t suddenly lost a lot of weight or anything.
AIBU to think this comment was mean and uncalled for? She’s generally not a nasty person, so now I think she was being serious and am stressing about what I need to wear next time o have a visitor
