There seems to be a lot more going on here than my comment.

Gentlemen...I am going to assume your comments have no relevence to my
post where I mentioned that I was just short of needing a wheelchair.
Although both comments were tacked onto the discussion between Mike and
myself.
 
Even if this is just an error...giving you the benefit of the doubt...it
was very insensitive...I don't know Dan very well but have read many of
Ode's posts and appreciated his sharing his knowledge so freely...but
both Dan's and Odes posts both reek of "Imusitis"...be careful how you
judge...you may find your words coming back to you one day...in not very
nice ways.
 
Altho I am overweight  my problem lies in the deterioration of my knee
and ankle joints..one of the problems my body has to deal with involving
lack of Vitamin D and years and years of very hard work...as a caregiver
I did lifting and moving that my body was never equiped to do.
 
Again...perhaps it was accidental that you both chose to make your
comments above the post I had sent...or maybe you are both feeling
extremely superior and full of yourselves today...however it
happened...your words were cruel no matter who they were directed to.
You don't know that woman...how can you make such judgements on how she
became trapped in her body?
Not an ounce of sympathy for her?
Enjoy your health while you have it...it will not last for ever.  V

        It has always amazed me how someone can get so fat that they
can't leave
        their room.
        Somebody has to be bringing food in.  How easy would it be to
maintain
        their diet to 
        something that would let them loose enough to leave the room.
        
        Maybe it's the pizza delivery...

           600 pound woman on Montel Williams.
        
        "I can't exercise!  I can barely turn over in bed. " [Oh ,
that's
        horrible, you poor dear, says Montel ]
        
        But Gee, what does that mean?
        
        Not.... For you, turning over IS exercise?
          And BTW, if you can barely turn over, how did you get to the
kitchen
        for so long? ...never mind keeping it stocked.
        
          Well, she died a few weeks later.
        Good helping friends can be your worst enemy, I suppose.
          Prolonged misery and Death by sympathy.
        
        Here, don't get up, I'll get that for you...let me help.
[sigh]
