Thanks Step Mom.

Went to visit my family this weekend. Dad works in the Space Shuttle program, and is losing his job soon. So they had a big 'bring your family one last time' day, and i'm the only 'kid' who wanted to go. My brothers were all busy i guess. Had a great time, Dad was all happy and proud and introducing me and hubby to everyone. I'm really glad i went.

EXCEPT that my Step Mom has some mystery illness. Could be flu, possibly pneumonia, don't know. Now they KNOW that they have to tell me if someone is sick before i come over there. My meds are chemo drugs. They lower my white blood count so low that sometimes i'm under doctor's orders not to leave the house for two weeks at a time. Did they call me and let me know she's sick? NO. Did she stay away from me and not breathe on me? NO.

Woke up today sick as hell. Feels like a bad cold so far. AWESOME. I've already taken antibiotics twice this year, so i'm REALLY not supposed to take them again until next  July. Awesome.

Really? it's been sixteen years that i've had this disease and been on these meds. You FORGOT you need to let me know you're sick so i can stay in a hotel??

i love my family, i really do. But they just don't think sometimes. Other people playing fast and loose with your health is NOT COOL. Not cool at all. If i end up in the hospital i'm refusing to stay at their house ever again.
