The phone rang!
Answered " hello " very tentatively

The Asian voice said am i talking to mrs taylor ??

Yes Who are you ??

You are having a medical procedure!!
Yes !!

So who are you are you trying to sell me something ???


No it's medway hospital here !

I am ringing to see if you are interested in weight loss and exercise info

THANKS !! I have lost 4 stone already and have bingo wings!!
I am carrying some extra weight but no way do I want more excess flesh and loose skin

Sooo noo

If I want info on exercise i wiil think about it

My daughter thought it was hilarious that i thought the hospital was trying to sell me

But now i am thinking do they want me to lose weight to get the knee done

I have the metabolism that has its own agenda

Done weight watchers . Lots of different diets that may have been unhealthy

Almost got anorexic one time
When my system wants to lose it will
When it's gone on strike,then almost looking at a picture of a piece of cake then I gain weight


Soo this call I found insulting to be honest

well it could well be a private weight loss company, attached to the Hospital (but paid for by the tax payer).

I slammed the phone down on a foreign caller the day after Fred had his cataract operation.

Of course it had to be the South Africa nurse from Worthing Hospital and I was not the first either.
