I think he made a house call before.

Is he Uncle Anxiety now?

Sadly, no.

He’s been doing breathing exercises. Okay.

[lemoncake]

I was lol at Dr Now on the zoom call. You know he sits there and someone plops a computer in front of him, already connected.

I can't Imagine anyone falling in love with someone who is over 400lbs and eats like that. Not sexy. But I guess the heart wants what the heart wants.

She was playing the long game--waiting to meet the Viking

I remember a house call before, but a long long time ago.

Sorry about the messed up post.  I was thinking that this has been a long half hour....

[Auntie Anxiety]

He needs much more than physical therapy. 

[lemoncake]

People, I am so disappointed. I was hoping for a half dozen strapping firemen to remove him from the house

[Chicklet]

Jason is an actual giant.

[katycat74]

Omg, Jason standing next to Dr. Now is hilarious!

[Red Bridey]

Hi, gang! I've been here watching, but I was doing the NYT puzzles as the show started. This guy's a mess. Don't have a lot of hope for him.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Thor brings his hammer and knocks some sense into Abi’s head.

[MagicEyes]

Thor is the real star of this episode! 

[Elizzikra]

The visual of Thor and Dr. Now standing next to each other... Thor is like one Dr. Now standing on another Dr. Now's shoulders...

[CrazyInAlabama]

Dr. Now housecall to Abi, with Thor the physical therapist.   When Dr. Now sees the bedsores, he's going to be appalled.  

Abi's really trying, and so is Brenda.  Abi's lost so much muscle mass, and strength.  He has so much infection.  Dr. Now and the therapist are being so kind.

Only thing keeping me from falling asleep.

Those flakes of skin on his shirt are an added bonus.

[ams1001]

I got distracted by a wrestling match...

Dr Now comments on the smell. I can only imagine

[babyhouseman]

Thor should get a PT TLC show. I'll Make You Thor.

[OoogleEyes]

I think this is total bullshit. This guy, after how many years, is now seeking, what ..  physical therapy? weight loss surgery? How much does he weigh? Where is his orthopedic surgeon? There are either a lot of missing pieces to this puzzle, or this show has reached new levels (heighths?) of desperation.

I wonder if Dr. Now stops at a drive-thru on his way back from the house call.

Hilarious.

They might be running out of crazy people. The sane ones don't want to be on camera.

[Chicklet]

I loved my PT when I had my torn rotator cuff surgery but he was a mere mortal. I feel cheated.

[Hellga]

I am a bit behind (my Mom clicked on a scam link and tried to enter her banking information there, sigh... I told her to call the bank and change all the login info, and put flags on the account - and tomorrow she will go and change accounts.  Don't click on links in text messages even if they appear legit!  Go to the actual site!).

Love the house call.  Wonder if Dr. Now would check the fridge and the pantry.   I know I would!  And I know I would find things that are NOT on the diet in there!

If it focuses on weight loss, they could call it "Thor Losers"

[Hellga]

Oozing skin infection, ugh.  Just how did this guy not realize 'OMG I have a problem and I need to do something about it' when it first started, not wait for it to go on forever and get really bad???  

[lemoncake]

Mr Lemon is bored. Went down to the hotel lobby to get some hot chocolate. So disappointed. We were hoping for family vans with mattresses and drive thru runs

That's not on the diet

How is the Queen Elizabeth wave PT?

Give it time...

[Auntie Anxiety]

You can tell Abi is really into this exercise. But sadly he hurt his knee from all the exercising so now he has to rest for a week or two. Okay.

[OoogleEyes]

It has cheese. Bonus!

This is driving me crazy. How much does this motherfucker weigh? And there is no way that these two are as happy as little clams stuck in this tiny room together.

AAARRRrrrrrrrrrgh

And he has just now figured out that you can add chicken to a salad!

I had a hot PT once. It kept me going, not gonna lie

[Chicklet]

It's novel to put chicken on a salad? Croutons? wrist exercises?  This is not going to end well at all.

[ams1001]

I don't think extra cheese and Caesar dressing are on the diet.

[CrazyInAlabama]

 

Chicken in the salad is fine, but that was enough dressing, cheese, and salad for a whole day.

Okay, my daughter just made her first comment (to Abi): "You don't need to rest!  Your whole life is rest!"  She's a Pounder in training, folks!  I'm so proud.

[Snarkastikate]

I really hope this guy can be helped.  I think he's trying & has a good attitude.  What a nightmare situation he's in.  Infected bedsores are a very bad scene.

[Pi237]

Hungry for a caesar salad now. Extra croutons.

My PT in New York was a mortal, but he was a magician.  Very painful magic, but he fixed my back.  The lower back pain I had for several years disappeared after a couple months and hasn't been back (knock on wood) in almost 10 years since.

We still have an hour to go!  We might get a mattress ride yet!  If he succeeds.  Otherwise he will just keep eating fried chicken in Austin and think he works hard because he swung his arms around a couple times. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Yeah, Abi, you’ve been a real trooper. It’s clear to see that you’ve lost tons of weight.

[ams1001]

"We've lost a lot of weight."

Really? How do you know? She doesn't look any smaller.

Maybe cut back to two eggs and smaller portion at dinner...he doesn't like that suggestion.

My fear is that at 9:55 he will sit up on the edge of the bed and his feet will touch the floor. Happy ending!!

I do like the Snoopy blanket!

If this works, it's gonna be a heck of a miracle comeback story.  I'm pulling for him.
