DANG me and my long posts! here i go again! you guys made me think- ok.. my list of 20- sooo easy to put together: (these are ONLY fabrications about medical things.. nothing to do with financial or random.. "why would anyone lie about that?" things)
1. She told people I had Lupus when I was in my early 20’s
2. I was hospitalized every year for several years in a row with stomach pains as a child- she told people I had some type of a rare appendicitis that I don’t really understand.. maybe it’s true- who knows
3. She told me that my grandmother was too ill to reach her arm to the phone when she got diagnosed with cancer, so not to call her. (not true.. my aunt told me to call her anyway)
4. She told me that my grandmother’s teeth were splintering from her cancer. I was horrified- I asked my grandma how her teeth were when I saw her, she had no idea what I was talking about, I asked her if they were splintering, and she said, “heavens no!”
5. A lady at the hospital where Bruce was staying came up and congratulated me on my bravery for battling my multiple sclerosis for the past 12 years or so. It had already been determined that I did NOT have multiple sclerosis, and I hadn’t even been suspected of having it until 4 yrs before that or so- she refused to give up hope that I had a crippling illness.
6. She told people that I couldn’t drive a car I was so ill. That story came to a head and when I almost wasn’t allowed to come to Christmas because I had to drive myself. She told me to get an employee to drive me, anyone, then she said, “let me think about this”. She had to come up with a story to tell everyone on how I was well enough to make it up there, even though behind my back she was saying I was going to die and couldn’t drive.
7. She told people that Sammy had a list of various illnesses-various fabricated.
8. She told people that Bruce had alzheimers- parkinsons, and a couple of other things I think.
9. She told people that my husband was losing his mind and should be institutionalized as Roy had been.
10. She told people that Roy was going to die.
11. She told people that Roy had… _______ fill in the blank- choose from a long list
12. She told people that she had been diagnosed with Lupus (not true) amongst other illnesses all serious
13. She told people she had to leave to Missouri right away one time, because the nursing home had called and her mother was going to die that night. (not true)
14. She told people that I had been diagnosed with ________ fill in the blank (bi-polar, schizophrenia, lupus, MS, a bunch of other neurological diseases I don’t even remember)
15. She told people that her father’s unknown neurological coma, almost causing his death, that they NOW say, it was one of the first cases of the west nile virus. (nooooo… not true)
16. She told people the grand-daughter (no naming minors here.. ) was probably not going to make it through her cancer, even though she was already cured.
17. She told a relative that her room-mate was extremely ill with her thyroid cancer, but later she moved out and got married- seemed a little over-exaggerated
18. She told the E.R. doctors one time when I was in there with acute abdominal pains, (and I told them I was sure it was food poisoning) she told them that I had scarring all over my brain, and bands in my spinal fluid, and that this type of thing always happens to me- ALL of it a lie.
19. She told someone in the third family, “you know, my brother couldn’t see when he left my house… but they found a tumor in his kidney, so he was going to die anyway”. Don’t know how to interpret that one- I’ll just let it sit.
20. She told her third husband to never talk to me again because I had gone off some medication that made me go crazy. (nope)
