'Typhoid' Marjorie
I am not too happy with my sister right now and it is because of people like her that the flu goes from one country to another.
Marjorie flew home from St. Louis Tuesday night. Before she left for the airport she told me she was starting to have sinus troubles and I could hear her cough. I told her if she had a cold she wasn't to come to my house because I didn't want to catch it. I have been sick most of the winter with vertigo and am just starting to feel well again.
She shows up at my house anyways. She was coughing quite a bit and had a runny nose. She told me when she was coughing at the airport while going through security she laughed and told the security officer not to worry it was post nasal drip and not the swine flu.
She slept on my couch and by morning was coughing even more and I told her she was infectious and I really didn't want to be sick. "Oh, no she said - you can't catch this from me" I kept telling her she had something other than sinus and she was adamant that it was post nasal drip. I know the flu or a cold when I see it and she had all the symptoms of both!
By Wednesday she was coughing so much she had my brother take her to the clinic to get antibiotics for her "sinus infection". I know my sister and I know she told the Doctor what was wrong with her because according to her she has never had a cold or flu in her 69 years of life.
She came back here and plopped herself down on my couch and since then has been coughing, sneezing, complaining of body aches, wheezing and suffering from nausea. She has the FLU even though she won't admit it. I am so po'd at her.
and she is not careful with her germs. She coughs and I tell her to cover her mouth and she said she is coughing with her mouth closed! Her coughing is keeping me awake because some of the coughs are deep in her chest and they make a piercing sound that even scares my cat. She has rales in her chest and I told her that she was wheezing. She doesn't wash her hands after she coughs into them and then she goes and touches my Brita water jug and uses the glass to fill it. I finally had to give her a bag to keep at her side for her used tissues. They were all over the couch.
I stayed away from my friend and her family since Easter because they have all been sick and passed the virus amongst themselves. Now, here I have it right in my own home!
I have only had 1 cold in 12 years and that was 6 years ago. When I have had a cold I end up having to go to the ER for breathing treatments because of my asthma. My immune system has been pretty good and I am really hoping it will fight off these germs that "Typhoid" Marjorie is spewing all around.
I bought a can of Lysol today and every time Marjorie leaves the room I spray everything plus the phone and the remote controls and anything else she has touched. She says she is offended. She brings her germs into my house and she is offended??
I am trying my best to not to get whatever she has but I think it is too late. My throat is starting to tickle and I have a slight cough.
She told me she was happy that she was sick here rather than at her apartment because she has someone to take care of her. I get sick and who will be here for me. I am sending Marjorie home the minute she feels better. If I am sick I want to be alone in my misery. LOL
And, she is already planning on making me her primary care giver and power of attorney, the person in charge of taking care of things if she doesn't make it through this round of cancer. She says she "has a feeling" this cancer will be her demise. I told her again she better plan on getting someone else to handle her affairs because I can't do it again and I told her not to make me feel guilty for not being able to do so. She has 5 other siblings beside myself.
I'll be there for her but not in the roll she wants me to be.
Right now though, I am not happy with her.
