No Maria, I do not expect her to be 100% concise and clear when she's
freaking out about terrible pain - but if the pain was terrible enough
to be freaking out shouldn't she have been in the ER?
Did I deserve what she threw at me? NO, I did not.
I think that m exaggerated in her post and so when I made the mistake of
taking what she was saying 100% seriously as being complete fact I was
very concerned that she may be very seriously ill.
If you don't like my advice then just simply don't take it and move on
you do not need or have the right to be so judgmental about people!
