It’s hard to unsee some things.

Today was our day at the treatment center for son’s infusion and transfusion. I couldn’t find a close place to park so I used valet parking. While waiting, a huge ambulance pulled up and 6 first responders hopped out(this is next to one of the emergency drop-offs.) they opened the back of the ambulance and proceeded to unload the largest man I have ever seen. He kept trying to remove his sheets saying he was hot, but they kept putting his sheets back on.
It took four grown men to push him inside. I couldn’t move my car to avoid seeing him. It was so sad to even see this…and no, I am definitely not hungry for dinner right now. Maybe later.
It was just so sad to see. I hope he gets some help.

It truly is sad--how does someone just keep on eating when they are too big to even walk? Obviously they cannot do anything for themselves at all. These people are in need of mental as well as physical help.

No quality of life at all for someone like this, either. No life, nothing.

No, it wasn't a pretty site. Seeing someone like that, totally immobile from weight, made me wonder how a person reaches that point. You know they eat just to eat, not to survive, but it has to be mental issues.

They appeared to act very professionally from what I could see.
I had a neighbor once who weighed 550 pounds, and she could do nothing for herself. This fellow was way, way bigger than she was. I am not a good guesser of weights, but I think he had to weigh at least 700 pounds.

You would think they would somehow wake up to their condition when they could no longer even walk.
