<font color="#000088"> That lady sounds just like my neighbor, the one who's been harrassing me,because of the jealousy of becoming good friends with her doctor. She's so used to being the sickest one on the block, and being in the spotlight all the time, and getting all the attention over her illness. Once I got sicker,she got mad at me for taking away her spotlight,as if I wanted it. She get's off on the attention from being so sick, that once some of it started going my way she got mad that it wasn't all going her direction anymore,and I finally had to stand up to her one day to,and tell her that I was sorry that I got sick,and I wasn't trying to take her spotlight,and if thier was anything I could do to get well,and give her her spotlight back,I would! That, that's not the kind of attention I thrive on,and I'll try to get the others to give her more of her attention back,so she would be happy.
When they would'nt allow her Dr./our friend to be my Dr. to,because I knew her from the outside as friends,I didn't even mention the neighbor as being her friend to,and having her as her Dr. and when she found out that I didn't get her busted,so she could still have her as her Dr.,she backed off,and thanked me for not getting her busted.I just gave her some attention,and said that she was sick,and needed the best Doctor available,and she's that.So I wasn't going to ruin that for her.
She didn't turn on me completely until she lost her Dr.when she moved,because of our friendship.
But I think you did the right thing by standing up for yourself,and telling her what you thought,even though it felt bad at the time.At least you got it off your chest,and now she knows how you feel,and you don't have to tell her again.She really sounds like a *****,just like my little problem ***** I have to deal with,but we all have people in our lives that just rub us the wrong way,and just don't know when to stop.

You have a lot of people here that love you to death,and beyond!
Plus,You'll alway's have me!I hope your day gets better January! </font>
