[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 131465, member: 2211"] Ditto Jane. I would be nervous too. My daughter doesn't notice her body's signals until it literally begins to shut down. Like the other day when she was home briefly on Sunday, I immediately noted she was sick and that it had gone into her chest but when I asked her she laughed at me (putting on a show for her girlfriend's) and said, "no, I'm fine". And then, of course, later came home, her entire body wracking with chills and burning up. I said the same thing to her the following day when she was so tired and wiped out she couldn't lift her head, "Hon, you really need to listen to your body when its telling you to slow down and rest." Alas, it does no good because last night, despite sounding like he// and looking like it to match, she went out with her boyfriend to dinner. You would think that if he really gave a rat's @$$ about her, he'd have BROUGHT her dinner and stayed home so she could rest more. Today she still has a fever, her chest is loaded with gunk, she's lethargic, but she has to go to work. When she called me this morning at work, I asked her how she's going to take care of herself so she could get through her shift. She just grunted. She doesn't want to go to work. I reminded her that if she's out 3 days she will need a DR's note and that I wasn't paying for her copays anymore, so if she needs to see her DR, she's responsible for that $15, not me. She said, "'okay". Well, it's frustrating. I'm trying to hang strong and stay quiet. [/QUOTE]
