The most awkward conversation I’ve ever had. This happened years ago but popped up in my head today.

I was going to visit my psychiatrist and I always see the nurse so she can take my vitals. She had weight loss surgery, which I also was trying to get at the time, so of course I asked how it felt.

Me: How does it feel to have lost so much weight? Do you feel better?

Her: I have cancer.

Me: umm uhhh… s-sorry.

Happy to report she survived and was the nurse there for a long time until she got another job.

But goddam. Awkward!!

Also very happy to report that my own quest for weight loss surgery is going great and I only have two doctors appointments left, and I should be done by May. If all goes well, I’ll be scheduled for surgery soon after. I unfortunately have to have ANOTHER psych eval refresher because Medicaid is being an ass. But it’s okay. I like the people there. They’re always good to me.
