This woman is really making me angry! My girlfriend's nephew had surgery yesterday to remove a tumor in his leg. He's only eight years old. Today the physical therapist got him up and walking and he cried because it hurt so much but he did it because he knew that he had to.

Expand  

What a great kid. Hoping for a complete recovery for him.

[Pepper Mostly]

The most recalcitrant ones always have the fakey fake little girl voice. "I'll try! I promise, Dr. Now!" Feh.

200# less. Same amount of spreading skin.

Oh steaming piles of horse shit, she's only 4' 11"? Damn. And Dr. Now says she should be under 100 pounds? Can't see that ever happening. And don't get me started on her Penny-like need for oxygen.

Expand  

Her inability to sit up really pisses me off!

[Kid]

Here’s what I don’t understand.  He says she does not need the oxygen.  He’s the doctor - pull it.

I wish him a quick and easy recovery.

[dreadfulLeigh]

Hi, y’all. I’m late to the party. Having a little gallbladder attack. I’m only 16 min in and her food is making me want to vomit.

Wait, she's lost over 100 pounds? She does not look like she has lost an ounce. 

Expand  

It's the mattress, obviously.  🙂

I'm guessing she will gain back 60 lbs in the next month.

[PaTatertots]

I'm having a brain fart. 

Who else was on oxygen for no reason? Was it Penny? I remember some ridiculous explanation about "needing" it even though her oxygen was fine without it. 

[Snarkastikate]

So Dawn seems to be devoting her entire existence to this blob?  I don't care overly much about Joyce, but what's up with Dawn?   That's a loyalty many spouses wouldn't have.  What's up?

[Chicklet]

She's not sympathetic or as goofy as the maid of horror so not really interesting.

[Granny58]

Anybody else having a difficult time understanding Dr. Now this week?

[SunnyBeBe]

Do you need a prescription for oxygen? Who pays for it when it’s not medically necessary?

[PrincessPurrsALot]

She thinks she needs oxygen because trying to breath with the equivalent of three adult humans on your chest is "haaaaarrrd!!!!"

This woman needs a TON of therapy.

[Concerned]

Being on oxygen is relaxing. You can breath really slowly.

I am, too.  Seems like he's mumbling or the sound is messed up or something.  But I also wasn't paying that much attention.

They haven’t chosen to explain it, but I can’t imagine there is a plausible excuse!

Yes, that was our friend Penny.  You are correct.

Oh yeah. I've been having a hard time understanding him all season. It's like he's swallowing all of his words like a Poundticipant swallows a 40-lb plate of biscuits and gravy.

[Chicklet]

Yep you need a script for oxygen and you don't get it if you don't have a prescription for it. Not sure how she's holding on to it  if he says no.

[DEG9]

wheeling her out on the gurney, you can see she is, slightly, less.

Bets on how long it takes her to put it all back on. As with, almost, all of our poundtestants, she is a victim, who needs her victimhood attested to.

I'll be very surprised if she succeeds.

She's resisting giving up the oxygen although Dr. Now says she doesn't need it. Didn't Penny do that too?

ETA: @Giant Misfit - snap. Great minds and all that!

Expand  

Penny kept using it because it was related to her job related disability scam.

Best wishes on that one.

When I had my dodgy gallbladder, everything made me want to vomit.

[Suzywriter]

slightly off topic, but I'd like to be able to smile rather than have Juvederm smoothness. 

[nytonc]

The necessary oxygen is rule #3 in the Penny weight loss method rule book. 

[LookABird]

Every once in a while there is a poundticipant that brings me to the point of disbelief.

I am stunned by her sheer mass.  When she was splayed out on the bed to be bathed, it truly was like a beached whale.  

[Carboncat]

Yes, I can believe it.   4' 11' is really short, hence the 160 BMI.

My dad is 80 and he's getting a hip replaced in a couple weeks. He was talking way back at Christmas about how he wanted to get my brother and his friends to bring the recumbent stationary bike up to the living from the basement if his doc okays it for PT.

[88Keys]

Her mom is gorgeous!  WTH?!

[CrazyInAlabama]

At least Joyce did her roots.   Those six inches of gray roots were awful.   

Another Poundticipant that knows more than Dr. Now does.   Between her lousy attitude, and making Dr. Now push her wheelchair, I really hate this waste of space.

I'm already forseeing the oxygen still on at the end. 

*facepalm*

[libgirl2]

She looks years older than her mom

[DC Gal in VA]

Okay, I've been bouncing between this and The Masked Singer which just ended so someone tell me what were the results of her weight loss? She obviously broke that poor scale--R.I.P. scale--so what's her weight now?

[Kid]

So everyone just sits on the couch watching the blob!!

[WonTon]

"My Feet Are Killing Me" makes me want to start a show called "My Home Grown Lobotomy" starring ME!

[Armchair Critic]

I think we surmised that Penny was getting some kind of disability money so that's also why she kept claiming she needed to be on oxygen.

[Callaphera]

Holy shit, nothing is funnier than watching her "march in place" in her recliner.

She left the hospital at something like 550; I think Dr. Now said she'd lost just over 200 pounds there.

[SunnyBeBe]

She’s short.

[Carboncat]

Oh, so cute!  The polar bear scrubs top on the physical therapist!

[88Keys]

Joyce loves her oxygen as much as Karina loved her walker.  

[Hellga]

She is walking OK for someone who has been largely bedbound for so long.

Ah.  Her Mom clarified that it's because she has been working on it at the facility and here.

Edited February 13, 2020 by Hellga

[Concerned]

She’s got a new dress. She’s down to a size 90.

She’ll be back up 100 by the time she sees him again.
