S09.E04: Cindy's Story LIVE CHAT

[PaTatertots]

"I can only travel by ambulance."

Any bets on how much longer until we hear "The diet's failing, not me." 😂😂

[mmecorday]

Sometimes watching this show reminds me of the lyrics from the Weird Al song "Midnight Star." 🎶Eat jelly donuts and lose 20 pounds a day. Hear the story of the man born without a head.🎶

She eats twice a day. From 8 AM until 1 PM, and from 2 PM until 8 PM. 

Expand  

Isn't that called Intermittant Fasting? 🙂

[umgoblue]

I am taking bets on how many times she will lose the emailed diet.  Any takers?!?

 

ETA:  Get in while you can! 😀

So, did someone come over and pierce her eyebrow? Or is that a relic from when she was still mobile?

Dr. Now just said something like what my mother, a health provider, says:  you never see super fat people who are also old.  Age 45 is pushing it.  I fear for her (and this episode!).

Expand  

She's my age. And has me mildly regretting my choice of hot chocolate (which is admittedly even too sweet for me, and that's saying something...won't get that kind again).

[Concerned]

Does the aide answer to the patient or the insurance company? Could the insurance company instruct the aide to feed a low calorie diet? Or is the aide somehow required to kill the patient with food if that’s what the patient wants?

 

Also does the lady in the Geico ad with Tag Team look like TheDerick’s mom?

Or a Christmas tree skirt for an extra large tree? It already has the hole in the middle for the trunk....er....head.

[Floatingbison]

Bets on whether she can make it three hours in the ambulance without stopping to eat?   If she makes them take the ambulance through a drive through, I'll. . . well, I'll be smugly satisfied.

Ambulance?  That's no fun.  They won't stop at any fast food places.  They're ruining everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She can sneak a few bags for the road in her skin folds!

[spacefly]

Late to the party, actually first one I’ve watched during original air time. I had foot surgery and was bed bound for three months, lost 15 pounds because I couldn’t get to the Dunkin’ drive thru every day. I learned something from that experience. I’m also not saying that I don’t want some Popeyes right about now. Can you believe they just put a new one a block from my house?!

[MelissaMinion]

We could make a ton of money with a long-distance ambulance service, and we could charge extra for every fast food stop en route. And we could sell very large underwear so the poor drivers don’t have to see anything.

it is "your majesty," Your Majesty.

No way she only eats twice a day unless she takes a break in the non-stop stuffing.   Otherwise it is just once a day, all day.

Buy a surplus parachute. It’s already in the right size and shape, and it has those handy ropes for pulling them along when loading/unloading them.

I haven't seen that, but I'd love to see it on this show.

I take back everything I said about these people finding joy in eating. I testify there is no joy like thinking you've finished off the wings, when you find 1 more left at the bottom of the bowl. God is good. 😄

We used to have a Popeye's five minutes from our house. Walking. We didn't know when we had it good.

GET IN THE FUCKING VAN, CINDY! I CANNOT TAKE THIS FAKE DRAMA FOR ANOTHER 90 MINUTES.

Nope. Not in charge of that! 😂😂

It’s not the right tiiiimmmmeeeeee 🙄 

[Brooklynista]

I dunno. Cindy isn't looking too sporty talking to her friend. She has that far off look in her eyes I've seen on family members about to cross over. 

[MelissaMinion]

Is this woman a relative, or the former care worker?

[CrazyInAlabama]

She had that eyebrow stud for a long time, some of the older pictures showed it.  

Sandy wasted her time, and this is boring. 

[babyhouseman]

Did she eat the paperwork?

[Pepper Mostly]

"I need to think about it"!!!??? GIRL. Everyone has gone to all this trouble for YOU. Now get your capacious ass into that ambulance!

[Kid]

What the fuck does she have to take care of??  
Let her eat herself to death.  

Edited January 21, 2021 by Kid

[Chicklet]

Who prescribes her medications? How does she get to the doctor's office?  How does she have blood work done? I don't get it.

This reminds me of an episode of Intervention when the addict flees the room because they're "not ready." Except Cindy is just gonna bore someone to death and take a nap.

[PaTatertots]

Get. In. The. Damn. VAN, CINDY. SHEDDUP and ride along. 

[LizzyB]

This caretaker/friend is so patient.  And honestly, kind, too--she's being blunt for good reason.

[Snarkastikate]

Just got in and turned this on.  This looks most serious.

Right? "I can't go to my potentially life saving doctor's appointment, because I have to make some copies". Well, kudos to Cindy, she made an excuse that's not on the Bingo card.

[ams1001]

"I wanna go and stuff..." Well, I'm convinced.

What things does she have to "take care of" at home that she can't do from Houston? Paperwork? Bring it with you. It's not like she's fixing her house herself or something.

And the health aide thinks she should stay because her condition is so bad so she shouldn't go see the doctor. Um, what?

[magemaud]

If I close my eyes when caregiver Sandy is talking, her voice sounds exactly like Cougar Stephanie on 90 Day Fiancé. 

[TwirlyGirly]

Sandy to Cindy:

"You have everything to gain!"

No, Sandy. That's the problem. Cindy has already gained far too much.

[magemaud]

Sorry, double post

So Denise is telling her not to go because she doesn’t want to lose her rice bowl.

[dreadfulLeigh]

Hmm, which person to believe? The lady in contact with a morbidly obsess specializst doctor or the lady who cooks you plates of death??
