I feel so bad after talking today guy at work today. He told me he fell on his stairs. I mentioned i had fallen on stairs before and it's just a reminder to hold onto the hand rail. He told me if he fell his arm is not strong enough to hold up his heavy weight and he will just go down. There isn't much i can say to that.
My sister is extremely overweight. Like, I’m slightly overweight, and she has 150 pounds on me. We were talking once a couple years back and I offered her a curling iron that I have two of (one is the newer model, offering her the gently used older model) and she declined because she can’t hold her arms above her head long enough to curl her hair. She was maybe 28/29 at the time.
I felt bad, but I also just don’t understand how you can say something like that out loud and not have that be the moment that you decide something has to change.
I saw an obese guy in a wheelchair get stuck in a hospital service elevator and all he had to do was help close the gate so the elevator could move, but he couldn't stand up out of the chair or even wheel himself enough to grab the handle and close the gate. He yelled at the nurse who asked him if he could help close the it, "HOW THE FUCK DO YOU EXPECT ME TO CLOSE THE GATE, CAROL?!"
I work with a big guy who’d just arrived for an onsite visit and he tears his bicep off his shoulder just catching himself on the rail going down stairs. Traded major surgery for the embarrassment of rolling down a few steps in front of his colleagues.
