I wouldn't dream of telling anyone this but I know from experience how helpful and kind the members of this forum are. As I said in another thread I amd having a sigmoidoscopy soon after an attack of abdominal pain and rectal bleeding. I thought I was coping reasonably well with the wait, resonable for me is probably demented to most people. Anyway, with your help I was just about getting by until yesterday when a work colleague was getting changed with me in the cloakroom and asked if I had lost weight. A perfectly innocent question which frightened me rigid because the doctor asked if my weight had changed in hospital and I couldn't tell him that I am far to nervous to weigh myself because to me losing weight is a sign of imminent death.
I have spent a whol day feeling if my clothes feel loose but to be honest I am in such a state I convince myself that I have lost weight when I mught not have. Should I weigh myself in Boots as I have no scales bearing in mind the state I will be in if I have lost some or wait and see when I get to hospital. Is any one else out there too afraid to weigh themselves or is it just me?
