There is a small health food store right around the corner. I use to shop there, but I started going to one farther away due to the pushy nature of this woman.
Well I just got out of the hospital a week ago due to severe blood loss due to internal bleeding. My iron is still fairly low and I am tired and weak and didn't feel like driving further away, so I went to this shop because it is so close.
She remembered me, and the first thing she said was "You're pregnant!" Granted, last time see saw me, I was going through fertility treatments and my stomach is distended due to my recent medical "adventures.," but it hit me like a punch in the gut.
She rushed off and grabbed a bottle of prenatals to hand me. I informed her that I was not pregnant and that I needed iron due to sever anemia due to internal bleeding. so she exclaimed "Oh your having a miscarriage! Let me grab you <then she rattled off a dozen different things>" to which I said "yeah, six f*cking months ago."
So she then replies, "Well that is so stressful let me grab you some stuff that helps with that and we also do massages here, why don't we talk about what you are going through and set up a massage schedule."
Me "No, and I don't want to talk about it." I have done well to not dwell on and and have done the best I can to put it out of my mind.
Now I was very upset and just wanted the stupid iron. I grabbed the cheapest one and tried to pay. I don't think my exaggeratedly irritated and miserable state could have been more obvious. So of course she says, "You are getting way too good of a deal don't you think? Let me go grab you this other stuff, my granddaughter in-law took this and she got pregnant with triplets."
See the thing is, nothing would help me, my body can't get pregnant due to past pregnancy complications that resulted in an infection and now more than ever could not sustain a pregnancy. Nor am in the financial position to even think about pregnant like I was 8 months ago when I did the fertility treatments.So yeah, the reality of all that hit home like and i have been in tears all freaking day.
Seriously, if I didn't know better, I swear the woman was getting some sort of sick sadistic pleasure out of it. All in the name of trying to make a few bucks. Never again. I new the woman was pushy and I was prepared to deal with that when I choose to go there but not this, not something that has left me a wreck like this. Damn it, I wish it would stop hurting.
