Minor milestone

I had a doctors appointment today. As I am getting laid off soon I wanted to make sure and visit with my doctor and get all of my prescriptions refilled, etc. They went through the usual routine of getting my blood pressure, temperature and a weigh in. For the last decade I have had to use a special scale in a separate room because I simply weighed too much to be measured by the scales they keep in the exam rooms. I didn't have to do that today.

This may not seem like much to some people, but it was huge for me. It made me feel, if not skinny, normal. I can be weighed using the same scale everyone else uses instead of needing special equipment to get the job done.

My doctor came in the room after I had gone through all of the preliminary stuff with a huge grin on his face. First thing he said to me, "You've lost a lot of weight!"

Best doctors visit ever!
