I really needed the site and it wasn't available.... [img]smileys/smilies_06.gif[/img]


My in-laws were supposed to come out to visit us this past weekend. I worry more than anything about someone sick contaminating my house. You guessed it, my father-in-law calls last Thursday evening and in the midst of the conversation, says that my mil didn't go to work that day, that she's got an intestinal flu. Great. He said hopefully she'd be better when they leave on Saturday. I immediately called my husband and said that his mom was sick and that they couldn't come. He called and told his mom and she apologized, as if it were her fault. This made me feel like a monster. I started to get very emotional and all down about the whole emet thing, and why me, etc. My husband was really of no help. My mil knows about my fear, but doesn't know the intensity. My fil doesn't know... he's not a very sensitive man... he's the type that would put a bandaid on a cut that obviously needs stitches. Anyways, I felt like I lost their respect, and just felt awful, but there was no way that I was letting anyone come that had the bug just a couple days before. She never v'd but had bad diarhea for 2 days. Who knows if passed to someone else, if it would involve v'ing and I didn't want it passed around at my house! Would you have done the same thing????? I just couldn't bear to chance it. My emet is better to the point that I didn't panic or obsess about her diarhea, but that I just couldn't deal with it in my house. I feel so ashamed. I can't wait to talk to my therapist this week..... it didn't help that I cancelled my therapy appt. on Friday in anticipation of their coming to visit, and then when this site was not working, I was sooooo distraught!!!! I still feel very bad about telling them they can't come, but I just couldn't let them.
