I made an eye appt. today and explained it was part of the diabetes yearly routine. She asks if I have had any unusal syntoms. I told her my eyesight has become blurry over the last few months. It's like somebody smeared vasaline on my eyes. She starts telling me how her mother's cataracts became so bad they couldn't see her retina..on and on. This is the appt. person! She works at an eye Dr.s office and she didn't notice her mom's cararacts?
What is it about one-ups manship?
I have heard things like, My son's diabetes is much worse then yours!..uh? how would she know how bad my diabetes is? Not that it's THAT bad.
Or I almost died from. ..insert surgery here
My cousin's was the size of a grapefruit ..insert tumor here.
Why do people want thier's or a cousin's or I once knew a guy's illness to top yours? I mean I choose not to have ..fill in the blank..at all!
Has this happened to you?
