I've also worked in a nursing home. Pericare on a morbidly obese man my first day...almost died my friend.  My mother will never get that big thankfully. She shares my disdain for super fats as a nurse herself (yes the irony is real) but I still fight her fat logic to try and get her out of smallfat territory. Her habits have changed for the better (more gym time, less pastries, no rice yada yada) but I'm still struggling to get her to understand cico.  I love my mother, but sometimes I'd like to shove my head through a wall because of her.
