A follow-up

After Melissa's foot doctor dealio, I had my own Dr. Appt. Like I mentioned before, since we have almost met our deductible for the year, Steve thought it would be a good idea for me to go in and see if anything needs to be done for me this year. So I go into be measured and weighed, and the nurse does my height and says, "So you are 5'8"." I said, "No." And she goes, "that wasn't a question, but I can do it again to make sure." So she checked again and said, "Yeah, maybe slightly under 5'8", but I would call it 5'8"". I told her that the last time I was checked height-wise, I was five-seven, is it possible to grow after you are an adult. And she asked me when it was that I was checked and I told her right before I got married when I was 19. And she said, "Yeah, especially if you were a late bloomer..." Twice in one day...

Seriously, I hate doctors sometimes. Just sayin'.

I would have loved what the second doctor had to say. I have lost just over two inches in height since high school. And, I too, was a late bloomer!

Usually the taller you are the thinner you look. So it was good news! Although Lisa made me really laugh. Hahahaha

I'm not surprised. Didn't I tell you I grew when I was pregnant with David? I thought my clothes were getting too short because I was growing out. After David was born and put my regular old clothes back on, they were all too short. That's when I measured. Sure enough, I made it clear to 5'3(from 5'2). If I was as tall as you, I could get rid of 3 or 4 step stools all over the house and I could even use the top shelves.
