Ever since that incident with the stranger, it seems to have been compensated by such nice nurses and fellow patients at the treatment centre. One of the head nurses even commented to my main doctor in charge when I was seeing him, saying that I'm special so they should waive off the daily consultation fees except for just one day a week. I thought to myself, well yeah, special only cos I am pretty much there daily for each monthly cycle. I don't think there is any other patient who's there as often as I am. But I know the head nurse didn't mean it like that.
I bumped into another nurse who used to attend to me but she's been transferred back to doing duties at the ward. She was always really nice and friendly to me.
Not to mention there were 2 other patients who saw me today and talked to me. One of them talked for way too much till my head hurt... but I just didn't have the heart to cut her off since she seemed to enjoy it. Ah well. Ronny, the other one, remembered I was on break and said he missed seeing me around. Of course he started off with his usual morbid jokes... mortuary block being the next destination for some of us and that we should meet up there someday. :s
It's funny how one person can just bring you down so much with negativity they shoot at you. I know not everyone will like us all. I just think that one doesn't need to deliver it the way this stranger did to me the other day. I think I am still recovering from that..

I'm feeling so sad and angry at the same time. I hate depending on the actions and decisions of others. Now I am stuck. great!
This is something that's hard to do - avoid depending on other people for
anything. I don't most of the time, but I am human and end up expecting sometimes. Hope you'll feel better soon.
