Just to set the scene... My mum is dead. So anything I write I cant be sued!
For years my brothers and sister would "s.lag" (irish word for teasing relentlessly) her off. We would tell her it was a miracle any of us reached adulthood mainly because she was the worst cook in the world. Lily as she was known was funny and sharp. Without telling anyone she went into hospital and had a mastectomy and rang us from the hospital to tell us to visit. Lily was 67 when this happened.
In later years she would have been lets say a regular visitor to the GP. Her visits were not because if ill health but mostly because every two weeks she booked herself in for an appointment. Lily would get in her best clothes fix her hair looking the picture of health and vitality, and straight after coming out of her visit would immediately make another appointment two weeks later.
I slagged her off for this for years and swore if it ever happened to me I would die with embarresment. So im at the surgery yesterday getting a blood test..... I walk out of the doctors and walk straight back in and made an appointment to see my doctor.
My question is........ Have i got Munchausen syndrome.
Lily would be so proud!!!
