I once had a conversation where I mentioned I could not do something because of chronic pain issues.
The person asked: “You mean you have it right now?”.
They genuinely did not understand what chronic even means and followed by saying they had a backache one time but a painkiller helped straight away and if I had ever thought about that. (eyeroll)
Could have called them sarcastic if they had been smarter!
I imagine these ‘me-myself-and I ‘types liking these alternative “get well soon” messages when they find out the nature of a chronic condition:
Get well soon-ish!
Have a s(p)eedy recovery!
This too shall pass. Nevermind!
Hope you feel better next day/decade.
Sick, again?
Hang in there-the Guinness book edition
But then again, they were not funny either đŸ˜‰
