I stayed at my sister’s over Christmas. For context, I came out of hospital a couple of days before Christmas, still had some post operative pain and a sore throat, had tested negative for covid, my sister knew I was unwell.
Christmas morning, she suggests going out for a walk – thinking some fresh air would be great, I agreed.
Although she’d spent the morning talking about having to moderate her activities to suit older less able friends, she marches on at a really fast pace. After half an hour, so probably a mile and a half, we’ve walked a loop and were back outside her home; my chest was hurting and I was struggling to breathe.
She asked if I was going home, so I said yes – she strides off on a route march around the very tedious village.
I sat in the garden until the rain got too hard, then I took refuge in the greenhouse.
After a couple of hours I spot that she is back in the house (hasn’t turned the lights on which she usually does as it’s a very dark house).
She claimed I hadn’t replied loudly enough – my voice was totally shot, and I’d have thought that I wasn’t on the route march behind her would have been a fair clue.
Thankfully I’m home now – I’d gone by train, and there were no hotels in the village – albeit with a really painful chest infection.
AIBU to still be bloody furious?
