Dr Visit

Just had to tell you about yesterday. I was scheduled for blood work and had been fasting overnight, which brings me to also mention that how many people really get up in the middle of the night to eat, but anyway, back to story, they of course want you to weigh in the minute they take you behind the “door”. So there I am slipping off anything that might add a pound or two to the scale, earrings, bracelets, shoes, glasses and I found myself sucking in my stomach the minute I stepped on to the scale. I started laughing and the nurse asked me what I was laughing about. I told her, “did you see me suck in my stomach, like that is going to take off a pound or two?” She started to laugh and told me that that was a first. She had never had anyone suck in their tummie hoping to weigh lighter. We were laughing going down the hall and she thanked me for making her day. I’m glad it did, it certainly didn’t mine. I was still remembering the number on the scale and what it said, knowing that I must have not sucked my tummy in far enough.
