any wound that started off as the size of a pea but is now the size of two silver dollars or whatever, is probably some sort of flesh rotting infection. that would alarm most people in some way, if only as a cause of stress and concern in their mind even if they dont voice it.
Exactly. Her denial about her health, even the stuff that's (possibly, conceivably, theoretically) not related to her obesity is... phenomenal.
This is the woman who,
if she is to be believed, has asthma but no inhaler, had food allergies but continued to eat the offending food until the allergy "went away," picks at what sounds like a minor wound until it's 2 inches across and seeping (not that her other sores seem to heal in a reasonable amount of time), loses gallons of blood during her period, randomly loses circulation in her legs, and swells up like an alarmed pufferfish when she eats a Cup Noodle.
Fat, skinny, fit... any mentally-normal person would see a doctor about any one of these things (provided they had access, which she clearly does) and pursue the issue until it's resolved. None of that is okay. All of that should be looked at by a professional.
But nah, Becky can slap a bandaid on it, so it's good.
(Yes, I know you can outgrow allergies, but you can also grow into a
worse allergy. If you're allergic to eggs and keep eating them willy-nilly without the oversight of a professional, your odds of developing anaphylaxis are about as good as your odds of "getting better". Dumb, dumb, dumb, that's all I can say.)
