It's 3:31 AM, I can't go to sleep. I am committed to losing this weight, for I want to live a long time, and I don't want to be a burden on others should I become ill. What many overweight people don't realize is: if we become sick, which is likely because of all the problems that could arise by being overweight, our stay maybe wrought with difficulties... I say this because it is difficult for the nursing staff to change us, or turn us because it takes several people to handle dead weight(no pun intended). Sometimes the other members of your health team are with other patients.
If we become very ill and have to be in the hospital for a while, many times the staff will have to look around for other facilities that can handle us. But while we are waiting to be accepted at a facility we have to wait longer for services that require lifting.
This is no knock at health care institutions. I love healthcare workers. My mother had a stroke and had to go to a facility 70 miles away because she was 250 lbs. No facility in our area could take her. Meanwhile her physical therapy suffered as a consequense.
I don't want to think maudlin thoughts, but I have to lose this weight.
