Is it possible all these people were clumsily trying to be polite about her real condition?

When the nurse at the hospital weighed me in at 89-lbs, she muttered, “Wow, I wish I weighed that.”

(Just a reminder:  I’m 4’11…)

That didn’t last long, as I went from a size 0 to a 14 on 60mg of predisone/day.

Whatever pharmaceutical regimen the subject of that news story was on, I’d love to know.

What a difference 15 years of medical advances make, I guess.
