They have portable scale that they slide under the bed that can go pretty high. They just weigh her on the bed then subtract the weight of the bed.

“If she relies on her husband and daughter for “everything”, then THEY are at fault for her size for providing her with too much food/too much junk! If she dies they should be charged with contributing to her death, IMO! >:-(”

Ridiculous. Why so eager to entangle people in the legal system?
shame on you. The only person responsible for her weight is her. I swear every dam story I read in the newspapers says, " no charges are expected to be filed." Well whoopee do! Why do people love cops, guns, courthouses, politicians and attorneys so much? Just a den of thieves stealing from each other as far as I'm concerned.

Is her HEAD too big too?

Have you ever even seen, much less been inside, an MRI machine?

Just curious ...

You must have read the article. I’m already overwhelmed with pity, without seeing her.

In sickness and in health were the marriage vows. He is a good man.

Well said.

Don’t think that was in the article. I watched a tv show on some morbidly obese man one time and that is how they got his weight.

My thought is how do they even know how much she weighs.

Satellite-detected mass anomalies.

Is it too cynical to think he is tiered of her so if he keeps the food coming she won’t be around much longer?

Read to the end of the story. They wanted to use a zoo MRI made for elephants, but the zoo machine isn’t licensed to do work on humans.

Not being able to do personal cares comes long before this lady’s situation developed to this degree. Even so, it is a sad situation.

the tv show on some morbidly obese man

Was that a guy in England who they had gotten to a hospital after making special arrangements for his room due to his heavy weight? I watched the first part of of a two parter- the thing that impressed me was the very particular care he had received at home—his skin in the folds and all was absolutely in great shape which would indicate very good care given to him.
