When you're sick, do you like to have someone taking care of you, or do you prefer to be left alone until you're better?
 
Since I'm single and live alone....I'm it!
 
I'm usually good on my own, but I certainly appreciate it when someone shows me some love. :)
 
The last time I was THAT sick involved an Advanced Life Support EMS squad and a couple of nights in the cardiac intensive care ward.

That was almost twenty years ago.

It was also the day I quit working at the state prison.

Since then, I've been able to manage my own care on my own.

I HATE fuss. My boyfriend wanted to comfort me when I was ill a few weeks ago. I know people are just trying to be nice but 1. I don't want to pass on whatever I had and 2. I just want to be left alone till it passes.

Mum usually gets me Lucozade and soup because I tend to not eat anything when I am ill. :/

The latter; I'm enough of a curmudgeon when I'm healthy...when I'm not-so-healthy, worse.
 
I like it when someone is there to help me. My wife helps take care of me when I'm ill.
