OT..my sister and her pity party
Six months ago my older sister had part of her right upper lobe lung removed for cancer...OMG you would think that she was the only person to ever had this done. Every time I talk to her she is complaining about how she hurts, how she cant do this or that...GEE I have gotten to the point when I see her name on the caller ID I cringe.
Her surgery was early September..I had one surgery early October and then my tt and hernia in November....THat whole time all I heard from her was how bad she hurt how she couldnt do this or that...
And now almost 6 months later it is still going on.....
I have a 52 year old sister that I am willing to trade or sell....her whiny mouth is not extra....

Try Craigs List....
There are people on there who will give you a whole bunch of extra money when they buy stuff from you! Of course they want you to send some money over to a friend in Nigeria too....So far they have tried to buy anything I try to sell....surely they would buy your sister!
I was going to try to put my ex on there...but maybe he would go quicker on Ebay.

No help from me either since I have TWO sisters and ONE Mother just like that. They wear me out. The other day my one sis was complaining and had stayed home from work AGAIN and I just said, "wow, you're sick all the time anymore"! She got pretty defensive and I said well, it just seams you miss a lot of work (then I get to hear her complain about how behind she is...)go figure!!! I don't feel good most days when I wake up and I NEVER want to just hop out of bed and get on with it but I do and then I'm fine. ....
I guess....no thanks for the sister who needs your big girl panties!!! I think you should buy her a pair and take to her. Be sure and write on the rear end with permanent markers "Big Girl Panties"!!!

Hi, Pattye.
The "c" word strikes fear, and fear that is unspoken goes inward, and unspoken inward fear comes out as words that are cries for sympathy/empathy/understanding. What your sister wants and needs is for someone to say, "I'm sorry you're going through this. It really sucks," and then to follow up with, "I admire your strength, and I know you're going to be all right." Try it, and see if it makes a difference.
Blessings,
Mary

Mary I went through cerival cancer right after my Mom died from cancer..I was alone had no one to help me..she would drive by my street everyday to feed her horses..never once stopped to help me...
And when my Mom was dying I asked her to come and sit with Mom so I could have a dy off. her reply was I have 2 kids and a husband I cant come and help...she lived only 40 minutes away...
to me..she is reaping what she sowed...
I tried to be considerate when she was diagnosed I even said I would put my stuff to come and help....
