update | is my mom moving in with me? 07/23/20 - six thousand dollar bed y'all

I thought that was because she wanted to go to a LV store to buy it in person (either for the experience or because she wants/needs to use cash for everything) and never made it to Louisville or wherever the nearest one is.
So she wasn't there to buy a 6k bed but wants to be there to spend 3k on a handbag. So glad she has her priorities right.

if that bed has memory foam it's going to eat her.. she will just sink in...
Like Johnny Depp in Nightmare on Elm Street
 
Something strikes me as off but maybe I'm being too cynical, judgement & am lacking in trust. Wait... we're talking about Amber - NM.

Lymphoedema getting bigger post-op; apparently that can & does happen. Major surgery can mess with your blood & lymphatic circulation even if you're normally very healthy & she is anything but & her lymphatic system is already major buggered. She would have been on a fair bit of IV fluids, so even if she barely ate, I can accept, (barely), that she only lost 1 lb. or so. The removed tissue wouldn't have weighed more than 2-3 lbs. regardless.

I won't lie - she's doing & looking far better than I expected. Her skin doesn't look as jaundiced, for one thing & she's having trouble keeping the smug out of her voice. If the 'walking' she described is the bulk of her ambulatory efforts, she needs to step it up big time for better healing; certainly if she wants to feel she's contributing more to the household.

I have no idea why at her size, (think she said that's why), removing lymph nodes was risky, or dangerous or however she phrased it. If anything my GUESS would be that they don't want to compromise an already cacked up lymphatic system & am hoping someone with current experience with surgery & the rationale behind such decisions can chime in.

Amber & her gut feelings. She's felt, intuited. Ouijii'd for all I know; herself up to close to 600 lbs. if not over. Her feelings about having cancer weren't strong enough, not ADULT enough for her to overcomes any childish fear of a gynecologist to see what was going on. She'd be better off relying on data rather than feelz & until she has a good path report & later, more definitive proof that this hasn't spread to her lymph, she might want to temper her optimism just a bit & start thinking about 'living right'.

I wonder if her feelings or whoever is keeping her informed has made it clear that even if she is now fully clear of cancer, the risks of obesity aren't a case of: "Gonna hit you with one severe blow, then you're good" situation type deal. She's still a very high risk for several cancers & all the other issues we talk endlessly about here.

She'd mentioned a number of her lab values, (blood), were off. That's not the oncologist's job to sort out so she needs to be planning on following that up with a primary care doc. What about that consult with a WL specialist?

She MAY have just had a very narrow escape but if she thinks that's a Get Out Of Jail Free card, she'd better think again.
 
Lol at everyone trying to make sense of the hick whale. She loves the attention because this is everything she's ever wanted.

Body parts removed? "I lost weight look how dane-tee"
Cancer diagnosis? "All da haydurs gonna say I'm lyin, but look at me it's hard being 600 ellbees and rottin on the inside."
Probably going to die soon? "I'm gonna spend money like it's nuffin, I gots my YouTube people to show off too"
 
She is having such a hard time holding back her grin when she’s talking about how she didn’t have an appetite in the hospital...

“they said I couldn’t leave until I ate something”
Lmao as if they were so concerned about their dainty patient and not that it's just standard procedure to eat something solid before being discharged

Normally they just want you to have a good shit before you are discharged

She didn't eat at all day 1. Only liquids day 2. Does she now realize that not eating for a day is not going to kill her?

In my Universe that is called a hangover - also isnt that what you do with intermittent fasting
