Ranting about illness(es)

Rant 1: Why is it that every time that I get a cold, that within a few days - everyone else claims to have caught it from me? I cover my mouth & nose when I sneeze, I'm obsessive about washing my hands & I'm always using hand sanitizer - of course, I know, that doesn't mean that they didn't get it from me, but still - there plenty of other germs floating around out there!

Rant 2: Why is it that I can cough like crazy, practically hacking up a lung, barely able to breathe and no one - I mean no one - bothers to do anythine more than say "Gee that doesn't sound good" ? You would think that just maybe, someone might pop their head up out of their cube to make sure I'm ok, and to make sure I didn't hack up my left lung - but noooooooooooooo...not here....

Rant 3: Why is it that when I get sick, Frank acts like I'm either "faking it" or that I got sick because I'm not "in shape"? And why the hell can't he get up out of bed in the middle of the night & get me cough medicine? Absolutely no sympathy whatsoever from him! But yet - when he's sick - it's a big huge deal - surely he's sicker than anyone else - and being the nice, kind, loving wife I am - I take care of him. I bring him cough syrup and cold medicine. I make chicken noodle soup & hot tea for him.

Just a little sympathy here - ok...
