What is it with these people:
DS gets hurt. I tell them.
They all listen, absorb, visit/call to discuss. Fine.
But...
Here goes:
Ex (daddy) has fallen in the bathroom and has hurt his hip.
Sis has been wiped out by the drive home and her, I repeat HER emotions.
DM called, it went to voicemail. I texted them all to say how utterly wiped and fed up we were yesterday and that we were curled up watching a dvd to try to cheer ourselves up.
She calls again.
DF goes to great lengths to tell me about how DS may recover. This despite me telling him that I don't know, Drs don't know, Consultants don't know what may or may not happen yet, for sure, until it happens. Tis the nature of burns apparently.
Then he tells me how sore his shoulder was because of the long drive and lack of time therefore ro do his exercises l, and how he's an old man...
Do these people hear themselves?
Walk a mile, no shuffle painfully, slowly with crutches, hunched in pain with someone holding a bag full of your wee cos you've got a blister on the end of your bits for a few steps of an 8yo, then see 'Poor you'
Forget asking me if I need anything? If i'm eating anything? Or have I eaten since saturday night? No, and not really, unless you count toast on a couple of mornings.
They're all fucking mad.
Or AIBU?
