Friday I found myself back at the dr's office. Relapse of the same upper resp/bronchitis crap that I've had on and off again for 2 months.
So anyway, when I was called back the nurse did the standard temp/blood pressure/weight thing. When she was writing my weight down she said, "Wow, you're a porker aren't you?" WTF???? What makes me even madder is that I didn't call her on it right then. I just smiled politely and told her I'd had a rough year and half. I even APOLOGIZED to HER for my being so fat.
I waited until I was in the room and she walked out and closed the door before I started to cry. When the dr came in I still didn't say anything about it. I just told him I was crying because I didn't feel good and I was tired and frustrated and just wanted to get well once and for all - which was partially true.
What kind of nurse says that to someone? WTF was she thinking? I mean she wasn't exactly thin herself. I'd say she was a little above average. She was at the very least a size 12-14.
I LOVE my doctor, but honestly, I just don't think I want to go back to his office again. I just don't feel like I can show my face there again after being so embarrassed.
I KNOW I have gained a LOT of weight in the past 18 months. Its been a combination of surgeries/medications/depression/inability to exercise.
Now I am just angry. I am angry at her for saying it and I am angry at myself for letting her get away with it.
