How bad must I look?
Hi Ladies, funny story, well that's how I choose to look at it. At my hospital appointment, I run into a lady who I met on diagnosis day, thought I would ask how she is travelling. My partner went and sat down a few chairs away from us. Lovely lady comments how nice it is that my son comes to every visit with me. I reply 'pardon?'. She repeats it and I reply 'my son? no, that's my partner'. She responds with 'oh, good for u, a toy boy'. At this point a complete stranger responds with 'what a clanger'. By this time I'm thinking 'how bad do i look'. I informed her my partner is 4 years older than me. Had to laugh, she was so embarrassed. Now of course, when told, my partner leans forward a gives her a nice little wave:) He is still laughing, what a hoot. He does have long hair and a beard, but really! I had made such an effort with my appearance, too:)
