Don't concern yourself with what the lady said to you about deciding to join again. Everyone is welcome at breathe easy meets and its not for anyone to say otherwise. You were ill and unable to attend, considerate because you stayed away when infected, in essence protecting others in attendance at the breathe easy meeting by staying away when you were unwell yourself.
Just attend the meetings whenever you can or are well enough to go, you can stay away as long as you like and go whenever you like, nothing is compulsory, the breathe easy meetings are for everyone who wish to go, carers of and lung patients equally.
Try not to let this experience upset you, just know that most at the breathe easy would want you to feel welcome and share time with them.

thankyou you have made me feel a bit betterx
I am sorry you had such an upsetting time at your Breathe Easy meeting...you and your husband have had a bad year and sometimes it just takes a few thoughtless words to add to the upset.
Is there any one at the meeting, on the committee maybe , that you could telephone and talk to. If not i am sure there would be someone at the BLF who would listen to your concerns tomorrow.
Please don't stop going, I enjoy my meeetings, each one is different and its a chance to see people who share breathing difficulties
Best wishes
I love Breathe Easy.That was not a nice way to be treated,You do not have to join again as once a member always a member unless you inform them otherwise.Ignore her,and keep going .I am sure the other members will be pleased to see you.

You have not bored anyone at all.
I'm so sorry that you had to come across such a horrible 'lady'. Please don't let her stop you going to the Group if you can get there. We all (apart from the 'lady') know that infections etc stop us doing what we would like to do.
Please don't let the stupid woman depress you - she's not worth the candle.
I hope that you and your husband are recovered now.
Love and hugs

I belong to one of two BE Groups locally. I say belong, but there is no requirement to join as such and attend every meeting. In fact I missed our last meeting because my wife was poorly and could not take me. It's usually me who is unable to attend because of a 'flair-up'. So each year I get to around half the meetings. If any of the other group members was as rude to me because of my inability to attend I would react strongly - verbally of course!
