Deathfat co-worker's smallfat mom in the hospital Kidney issues. They think they'll need to do surgery but her fever is so high that it's dangerous. She has a bad infection but it's not responding to treatment/antibiotics. They think this is all related to a big kidney stone that can't be passed. So they will probably do the surgery anyway. This deathfat co-worker is the one who had weight loss surgery but gained it all back. Smallfat Mom could've probably avoided kidney stones all together if she was drinking water, not Starbeetus and wine coolers.  I do feel bad that their family is hurting, but it's also like what does it take for these people to learn to take care of themselves? They never do anything right. There are times when I'd love a Coke, but I drink water instead because I'm an adult and I know it's better for me. Better for my waistline, blood sugar, teeth, better for everything. You can't respond to every emotion, headache, bad day at work by drowning it in beetus corn syrup or carb-y food. Or, you can, but expect to have a short life punctuated by medical crises.
