NON-COMBATANT
Annmarie Throckmorton, M.A.
To keep quarrelsome people away, I am thinking that I may need to wear a large sign, like an old fashioned wearable sandwich board, that reads:
NON-COMBATANT
73 years old
angina
atrial fibrillation
arrhythmia
tachycardia
heart stops with heart attacks
several strokes
breathing difficulties
massive, chronic pain
non-stop fatigue
But even spelling it out may not be enough to ward off some folks, they refuse to perceive my difficulties and persist in quibbling and quarrelling at me. I cannot sustain it. Must I become a non-combatant sign?
