I like to understand things & people but no matter how hard I try, I simply can't find anything about Chantal that makes sense to me - not for more than 5 minutes. She is absolutely batshit crazy & the current levels of delusion, denial & decay are increasing exponentially & negative changes are obvious on a daily basis. Some thoughts & theories in no particular order:
Nosebleeds - Dutch Courage pointed out that it's not dry in Ottawa & he's right. Our humidity levels so far this winter have been high & she's mentioned she keeps it cool at her place. Anticoagulants are the most logical explanation for her nosebleeds; her last INF was high - too high. But if anyone is looking for a reach; apparently liver disease can cause nosebleeds.
Yawning - again, high probability she's exhausted. Carrying that weight around must be extremely taxing, even if she spends most of her time sitting or lying down. Again, if anyone wants a reach, sleep apnea can lead to excessive yawning as can liver failure. It can also indicate heart issues.
She mentioned ordering take out is way more satisfying than anything else. Thinking about the easy but lovely meals anyone can learn to make at home, that puzzled me. It sounded to me as though this went beyond a love for the fat, sugar & sodium bombs she loves to order; you can easily make crap like that at home. True, she has the patience of a rabid gerbil on meth & her pudgy paws are very clumsy with kitchen implements but we've seen her drive an awful long way to satisfy cravings.
It occurred to me that the 'rush' she gets from ordering & more importantly receiving her orders is more akin to hoarding behavior - the "high of the buy" or acquisition. Sure, she gets downright orgasmic when she eats it but she strikes me as being more excited when she waves her food bags in front of the camera, then opens them.
I'm convinced that on top of being unfit to do any daily activity & lazy, much of her mess is due to her being a hoarder, a slovenly one at that. Maybe I'm overthinking this but maybe her takeout obsession is partly due to her increasing hoarding behavior.
A trait of many hoarders is that their cupboards & closets may be empty or partially empty, with piles of stuff lying everywhere & jammed on opt of counters, shelves or any open surface. Put away a hoarders things in a sane manner & within a few weeks, most of it will be out again. For these hoarders, it's not enough to know they have stuff; it's important that they see it - even if it's only the tops of piles. Chantal isn't short of cupboard space but within a few hours of 'cleaning her kitchen', once again, we see food items on the counters.
It must drive her nuts to know that some items have to be kept in the fridge. I've noticed she's always finding reasons to open that damned fridge door; even when she's not specifically getting something to eat or drink. She'll open it to show us things, to move things around.
She won't live long enough to turn into a full blown class 5 hoarder. I know a great many death fats live an astonishingly long time in spite of their weight but her serious medical conditions are too serious - especially the combination of those she has. Instead of doing something proactive to try & limit further damage, she's doubling down on her self destructive behaviors & each time I see her, I'm appalled at how much worse she is. Stills from today's live show her skin developing a ton of new bruises & other discoloration. She's looking increasingly jaundiced is rapidly gaining. The breathing - oh Lord, the breathing.
If she's still alive by summer, she's going to be bed bound. No way she's going to be able to manage a move this spring, even with a lot of family help.
