After a little tossing and turning (or more accurately, gently repositioning my sore body) last night, I came up with an analogy which helps with that psychological game from last night:
If you are told that you are considered "overweight" from 160-200lbs and "obese" above 200lbs, does someone who is 199 really have a significantly better prognosis than someone at 201?
Yesterday afternoon, I went from thinking the scale was reading 199 to finding out that it really read 201. Totally doesn't change my prognosis or treatment, just has a new name. Unfortunately, I can't skip a couple meals to change the results, but Dr. Kirshner will tell me in a few short hours what we CAN do about it. Tick tock, tick tock.
Keep fighting, your optimism is inspiring. Cuse nation appreciates everything you do and wishes you the best through your recovery.
