Of course she bloody doesn’t

Further to what I said about my mum in my last entry:

My sister messaged me today to apologise for not being able to pick up mums Mothers Day gift.  She also said that mum, in her 70’s and having had a triple heart bypass, refuses to believe she’s vulnerable to Covid-19.  My reply?

“Of course mum doesn’t think she’s vulnerable, when does she ever?”

She’s always been like this about her health.  Always.

Example.  When she told me about needing the heart op, she made it seem like she had mentioned to the doctor having chest pains and he had an ambulance take her to hospital in an abundance of caution.

My dad told me the truth.  She had massive chest pains during a doctors appointment and was rushed to hospital.

The thing that annoyed her most though?  Wasn’t the thought of having open heart surgery.  It was needing to go back to the doctors to pick up the car.

So of course she doesn’t think she is vulnerable.  I would be more shocked if she did.

My mother, ladies and germs.  I love her, but she can be fucking frustrating.
