Season 12: Live Chat

[Emkat]

Another one blaming the bed!

[Red Bridey]

I had a Caesar salad and orange for my eating habit tonight! But I bought a mixed berry pie at a fundraiser this past weekend and I feel it calling my name. I might just have a small slice ala mode.

[babyhouseman]

What about a walk in the park at the end?

At least she works outside the house...  

And this guy is too afraid to really change things.  I don't think he will succeed.  His language is not that of a success.  Too passive and too full of excuses and too abstract.  'Salads and stuff'.  it should have been 'following your diet, weigh my portions, today I had (very specific).

You won’t be sorry. I bought a small apple raspberry pie and felt forced to put a pint of vanilla Haagen Daz ice cream in the shopping cart. I was powerless.

I thank my lucky stars that I have a dairy allergy so I have real restraint in the grocery store.

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

Heh. Physical Therapists...if you click with a good one...it's almost magic! 

I have a friend who is an avid birder. She had a hip replacement and she told her physical therapist that her goal was to be able to walk over uneven ground. That is what they did. Together. She's out in the woods this spring 🪶🪶

I was never really into the a la mode thing, but recently I've become a convert. All it took was a cherry pie and a little vanilla ice cream. I didn't even warm up the pie first, and it was heavenly! 

[Hellga]

Special medical transport incoming!  

Wonder if they will put him up in a facility on a forced diet and treat his infection and work on his PT in a more consistent way...

I always wonder why Dr. Now doesn't make them be more specific. What's in the salad? What kind of dressing and how much? What kind of chicken is on it (fried? rotisserie? Grilled?). I was surprised he asked how many eggs at breakfast; he doesn't usually even ask that.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Doesn’t look like the wife has lost a single pound.

I'm guessing you don't want my recommendations on excellent dairy free ice creams?

There's gotta be some cool parks in Austin...

Is he going to fit through a normal-size door?

[lemoncake]

Abi living in his bed is giving me anxiety. I am bed phobic when it comes to eating, cooking,  tooth brushing, bathing etc. Just gross to me

[Auntie Anxiety]

These people need to get extra pay for this job.

This is crazy times...a normal-sized stretcher, too?!?!?

Love the almond milk variety but those are expensive and I am cheap. And my husband then eats them. 

[Hellga]

That's a whole lot of bleeping!

The team of EMTs of varied hotness.  But I remember I was in Austin last year and had a spare couple hours, so I went down to the capitol.  I kept thinking that I have seen more tall blond hot guys in two hours in Austin than in three years in Massachusetts.   

[CrazyInAlabama]

So, Dr. Now sent a medical transport for him.   I bet a hospitalization is in his future.  

Wow!  Moving him to the stretcher was a struggle. 

I hope he's under 700 lbs., but I'm afraid he's more.

Shur Med really wanted the free advertising, I guess.

I can't wait for farmer's market time 😋

My back has been bothering and I've been getting a burning feeling in my feet (and other parts of my legs). I've noticed if I sit too long in my armchair it gets worse. My doctor wants me to see a neurologist and I called the one my mom sees (who she likes very much) and the earliest appointment is in August...

Fortunately, I've been Facebook chatting with my daughter-in-law during the show. Otherwise, I would have put my head in the oven.

I can't wait for harvest time!  I have a really nice pick your own farm 15 minutes from me, they should have strawberries in about two-two and a half months' time... and then raspberries, and currants, and blueberries, and peaches, and apples...

[Auntie Anxiety]

Dr. Now has more flair than Jennifer Aniston had in Office Space.

[Pi237]

Is his fanny pack a belly? Ew. 

[Elizzikra]

So does this hospital admission mean no more Thor?

[ams1001]

What is that thing on his chest that looks like a belly?

Especially if the pie is a little warm. Mmmmmmmmm

[Chicklet]

How has this guy not died of a blood clot before this? I do not understand.

I need to see a specialist...I can't get an appointment until September!

Or infection.

Abi dreamed of doing nothing.

[MsVixen]

Did Dr. Now say anything about weighing Abi?

[Auntie Anxiety]

This has become a real slog.

Thor needs his own show. It really could be about anything, we just want more Thor! Maybe Thor goes to Ren Faires around the country!

[Snarkastikate]

He's not as big as some of the heavyweights we've seen in this show.  I think a lot of his pain is from those infected bedsores.  I hope Dr Now can do something to help improve this guy's situation, it's obvious he wants to. 

[CrazyInAlabama]

I'm glad someone took that awful looking bag away. 

I bet Dr. Now will be bringing in specialists in paralysis, and someone with a specialty in wound care for those giant, infected sores. 

So, over 700 to start, and down over 100 lbs to just over 600 lbs. 

Those sores are horrific.

Blood clot, uncontrolled BP, heart disease, diabetes. A whole host of terrible outcomes.

Isn't there a Riverwalk there, or something?

So sorry to hear that.  Hope you can get seen and diagnosed and treated soon.  Ask them to be put on a wait list, sometimes it does work out. 

[Chicklet]

Abi could float down Riverwalk in his blowup bed.

I think that's San Antonio.

[Hellga]

Fat is lighter than water.  He should be a giant raft just by himself!  

[babyhouseman]

He was over 700 pounds.

[Chicklet]

Pudding is on that diet?

[Auntie Anxiety]

Oooh, he lost a lot of weight. But has no self-control. Not good.
