TiggySo today's dilemma was what needed to be prioritised from the laundry pile.
On Tues I have a medical appointment.
I need to travel on public transport with my small scooter.
It gets very, very cold sitting on a scooter in the winter.
However, the medical staff want to weigh me.
And I need to give them access to my upper arms.
My usual winter wear is a set of long-sleeved, full leg thermal underwear, a top, a cardigan, thick trousers, two pairs of socks - all under thick outerwear.
It weighs too much ... and I am 'overweight' without the extras.
It fully covers my arms with 3 layers after I take off my coat.
Brain exploded on trying to work out what to wash from last week's trips out.
So many other things I need from the NHS.
But not this.
I've had 3 messages from my GP surgery offering me the jab, but the only reason I'm just over the minimum BMI to get on their programme is the height I lost in the last year.
I've also continued to slowly lose weight without dieting and with less exercise, but they aren't worried about that.
Prejudice about weight is so firmly embedded that I was once congratulated by a GP for losing weight, when I was barely eating and throwing up every night with gallstones. He didn't want to listen about my symptoms or malnutrition issue but encouraged me to lose more.
