[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 144970, member: 1697"] I SHOULD be much faster with metric.....had to use it in nurseing school......and have been helping my son becuz they do teach it and use it some here in our schools. But I get lazy and fall back. LOL. It struck me when I worked in the nurseing homes, people there are MUCH smaller than people now, much shorter and weigh much less. As people now begin to fill the nurseing homes, it is going to be quite a job......transferring us larger people, taller people. We have a couple, our friends, the man is like 7 foot 2 or something and wife just an inch shorter. He has MS and it hit him hard and fast 13 years ago...and he was entirely bedbound quickly. Recently he had leg amuptation....she wanted to know if I would do private duty hmome care of him. I had to tell her no, and had to warn her he is simply so tall, so heavy, she is going to have a very hard time finding anyone to do home care especially since she still has not gotten a mechanical lift to use on him. Me and my sibs are all much taller than our parents were. My husband is also much much taller than his mother was. I think my son is gonna be taller than me and husband, but, my girls are much shorter than me and husband. BUT my girls weight is not light. difficult child weighs less than me, but, she is so much shorter (even son is now taller than her) I think it is going to create some serious problems in the nurseing homes in the years to come. No docs ever said anything to me about my weight......BUT more and more I am now thinking they simply do not want to see me at all- becuz of me smoking? Maybe they assume since I smoke, I won't care about anything or something like that? BUT until very recently, my triglycerides and blood sugar and blood pressure liver enzymes etc all were always good. We are not haveing good success getting the pred now much. :-( In spite of the other medications for long term that I now use. The other medications have been on board as long as the pred.....but they are not taking over the job of the flares etc very well. The pred was supposed to just ride me thru until the other medications worked well. (I am not sure I am explaining this quite right) Ah well, it is a new day....Pouring rain, flooded streets, snow forecast for tonite and tomorrow.....so while I DID go out in yard yesterday and day before, I do not think that will be possible now. :-( Seems much easier to stick to better eating when I can go outside away from kitchen and be in sunshine.
