Prayers with and for you Pat.
Family matters are always the most troubling.
Thanks PP....don’t give me too much sympathy, I might get addicted.
Sure we all like sympathy, when we need it. Problem with sympathy is that something bad has to be happening to you to earn it.
Heh....except if you figure out how to get sympathy without bother of any real sickness.....that’s cool.
So I know I’m on a roll but so okay, laff if you will, but I swear my choir director has Muncheussen’s syndrome.
Go on....laff. I’m up on this stuff.
Okay, there was the Easter vigil they had to take him our of church DURING THE CEREMONY! Serious, pulled him out from behind the organ and had an ambulance quietly waiting, had a sugar reading of over 700!
He is frequently sick, misses practice....abnormally so.
He comes to practice with a big brace, tells us about a sore that won’t heal, limps around. I cluck worriedly as do other choir members.
Last year, at Christmas no less, he tells us he fell down and broke his freaking hip! I had a Christmas party at my house for the choir and figured he wasn’t coming. But he lopes up my driveway, broken hip and all, carrying a big cold cut platter and some rolls.
Last week Father Jim says he must come to meeting for big Catholic thing raising money. Todd and Father Jim do not get along. Suddenly Todd has a big flu, misses the meeting and last week’s practice.
Today, get this, he comes over, big goofy smile on his face. He plays the organ, up on the sacristy, and the choir sits in the first three rows of pews.
He walks over and tells us....heh, that he fell and broke three ribs yesterday! Tells us he’s all doped up on Percoset...yada, yada.
I’m serious....something not right about this guy.
But yeah, I know I got it on my mind but come on, can you even walk with a broken hip?
And as for the big sugar level at Easter Vigil, lookit, Muncheussen people....they got to get sick IN FRONT OF PEOPLE!
It would not do for Todd to go to the hospital as soon as he couldn’t see anything but blurs....need big deal, remove from the altar, congregation oohs.
Hey, I dunno but serious....
....I bet there’s a whole lot of these people walking around.
I’ll try not to get too carried away.
