She got a determination "too big for scale," so no weight.

But haven't 800+ lb people been on scale?

Dr Now said she can’t stand up so would have to use the scale with the rails/handles and she is too wide to Fit. Between. The. Handles. 
 

that’s gotta be a first.

Did she get weighed?  What was it?

Too big to fit on the giant scale with the handrails.

(The nurse, Cassandra, might have risk factors or isn't meeting patients.  I know some in health care that stepped back to safer jobs, so they don't expose their loved ones.   I hope she's OK).

Are we going to be living in Dr. Paradise this week?

Title of booklet:. " The Scale Does Not Lie, People Do".

 

I’d insist Dr. Now autograph my copy! 

[WonTon]

Exercising to the next level? What, lifting your leg when you fart?

[Hellga]

She doesn't drive - I get that, but why doesn't her husband drive?

[SunnyBeBe]

Where is she?

[mk828]

I'm done!! Wheelchair on the side of the street ha! 

[Guest]

GET THAT WHEELCHAIR OFF THE FUCKING HIGHWAY!

Holy shit.

I saw EC and the Attractions on the Trust tour way back in 1980.  It was incredible.  I'll never forget it.

[OoogleEyes]

That wheelchair should be beeping as she backs it up

A gym open during COVID times. Huh.

[Hellga]

Going on a public road in a motorized wheelchair cannot be safe...

Nope.

I have all but given up!  I am only here for the Pounders!

[LizzyB]

What are we watching?  A person driving on a road in a chair? I feel so bad, but I am laughing so hard right now.  Tears.

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh look! She's exercising! This should be good. 

[sainte-chapelle]

I am on the “this bitch” train. My mom had an accident and was in ICU on a ventilator March 2020. My dad is still on a ventilator after his accident in late Jan. 2021. I was unemployed for 6 months and was just on boarded remotely to my new job the same week my dad had his accident. I have no patience for her whining. We all have our fucking issues Shannon.

[ams1001]

She drove her chair on the street, covered in a lap blanket.

Her trainer is a tiny little sprite!

I think someone was a few ounces short of 1000.

[Snarkastikate]

TELL ME I DIDN'T SEE WHAT I JUST SAW

[CrazyInAlabama]

Just now, SunnyBeBe said:

Where is she?

She lives in Tucson, 16 hours and four or five days from Houston. 

[umgoblue]

Why do they all go to a gym?  So unrealistic.  Just walk around the house. Raise your arms in the bed (cause that is all that she is doing right now).

[ams1001]

Oh, and the lips on the mask...

Why was she wearing the mask while "driving" but not in the gym?

[sainte-chapelle]

During lockdown some places allowed private training sessions.

Bet the people at the gym dial 9 and 1 and hold a finger over the 1.

[Caoimhe]

Will she drive her chair to the fast food drive thru on the way home?  Maybe they won’t film that.

[mmecorday]

Was it Janine who drove her scooter through the drive-thru?

[babyhouseman]

Oh the wheelchair on the highway scene. Now we got drive thru, glasses, and gym.

All she's lifting at home is the fork.

[WonTon]

She'll never go back to that gym. Ever.

[Hellga]

Don't tell me she took that wheelchair back on the road *in the dark*.  

[xls]

For a second there i thougt she was going to work out on that big pole

You said it!! I am a 4th grade teacher. My district is going back to full in person 5 days a week next week. They threw it on us real last minute. Our district barely notifies us with their contact tracing. No more snow days, only remote days when we have snow. Getting vaccinated on Saturday. It's been a hell of a year. 

I got my second vaccine last week. No side effects 😀 This year cannot end soon enough. Good luck to you!

Episode ending music is playing now with 15 minutes left. And she is wheelchairing in the parking like, as if she is done.

It looks like she's in the space for bikes  I was thinking she's probably too wide for the space.

Right? There's nothing she did in that gym she couldn't have done at home. Or in the backyard. Or ... 

IN THE PARK.

and at least eleven hundred and forty stops for fast food, I bet.  

[Hellga]

She made the 17 hour drive in one day?  That's a positive sign.  I don't know if I would have been able to do that even in a proper seat, not in the back seat.

Me too. The girlfriend got me two bottles of my favorite pinot grigio from Total Wine and More, which is just about the best store ever.

I'm having Evolution. It's a white blend from Sokol Blosser Winery in Oregon. It's my sipping while watching TV wine.
