It's not. You can definitely go to prison for child abuse if it ever gets figured out. That's the problem with any kind of Dr. shopping. Without the other Drs knowing you've already been to 3 or 4 , it's hard to catch.

There is a term called Malingering that is exaggerating physical or psychological symptoms for personal gain

Oh I am definitely afflicted with that. 

Every time I see a spider bigger than a dime. 🙄

And then there's the term hypochondriac. I've thought that for a long time here, notwithstanding that foot.

Funny story😁 

The other day Sugarbritches says "Let's go add salt to the water softener", so we go to get under the house.  There's a big spider on the door leading under the house and I immediately freak out.....She calls me a "big puss" and rips me to pieces over it.   I look down and see a garter snake, reach down to pick it up AND SHE ABSOLUTELY COMES UNGLUED!!!!   

You have no idea how hard it was for me to not throw that snake at her.  😅

I think this is different🤔 

One of my daughters friends mom had Munchausen when the kid was growing up, and that was a really sad deal.   Perfectly healthy kid.....yet her mother had everyone convinced that the girl always had some kind of ailment, and would just keep switching doctors until FINALLY one would diagnose the kid with something and begin treatments for it.   Always some weird disease that nobody had ever heard of.   

Of all the legal & acceptable ways to ruin a kids life.....THAT is the sickest. 😖 

The girl has a child now. Sure hope Granny doesn't get a hold of it. 🙄 Or that it isn't hereditary.

This would be Munchausen by proxy.    Similar to what that Gypsy girl went through in Springfield.   You know the story- they made a movie out of it.    But absolutely right… sick way to ruin a kids life.    Terrible

Today talking even if I go I would probably fall and if I went Deer Hunting I would have to have someone else take care of it.

So we talked about fishing.  Seems I'm going to have a problem with someone setting with me when it is zero outside. 

Well Heater is working well in the Greenhouse got it set about half way and keeping it in the 50's.

My Doctor said I would do this with the Meds.

I have no way of deciding where I fall and there is no way I can get up.

There's a clinical term for people with reduced mobility who constantly do things to get themselves hurt, or in a predicament, and they do it because they don't feel like they are getting enough attention.  

Anybody here know what that term is ? 

You guys are bad as my Ex.

We was visiting her Aunt and Uncle in K.C.

Was setting at the table talking.  My Ex starts kicking me.  Why you kicking me?

I always thought you were lying and find out you weren't.
