Wisest Elder Ever

I was picking up a prescription one day and went inside because I needed to get a couple of other things, too. I lost my balance while standing at the pharmacy counter and stumbled a little before I regained my balance. There was a lady waiting with her daughter and I saw them exchange a look....and then the mom made a "drinking from a glass" signal to her daughter. I saw it and it really hurt my feelings that someone would just jump to that conclusion. Plus, it was only about 10 AM! I quietly walked up to her and said that I had seen her motion to her daughter the "drinking" signal and that I had not been drinking...I had MS and my balance was affected by it. Her daughter looked mortified and went and sat in a row of chairs waaaaaay at the other end of the pharmacy counter! The lady was flustered but managed to say "oh, I know someone with MS and it's a terrible thing to have". She offered no apology....nothing. I didn't say anything else to her - she had done enough damage all by herself and didn't need anymore help from me. ![]() ![]()
