Sad day yesterday
OH friends,
I took my panniculus for a walk in the park yesterday, it was really a beautiful spring morning.
Then some kids in the park came running over and wanted to pet my panniculus and play with it.
Pretty soon, their moms came over and snatched their kids hands and dragging them away, while calling me a dirty old pervert!
Saddened, I went on home, and in a little while my panniculus started acting up. Kind of scared me, so I took it to the Vet. He checked it for panniculitis, and said that wasn't the problem (sigh of relief), but that it had a low lipid panel and low blood glucose. I explained that it was on a lo-fat, lo-sugar diet. He told me that was fine, and to make sure it got plenty of fiber, billed me, and sent us home.
Now my panniculus is trying to get up on my lap when I sit and watch TV. What's with that?
Hope tomorrow is better,
Fred
Panniculus is a medical term describing a dense layer of fatty tissue growth, usually in the abdominal cavity.[1] It can be a result of morbid obesity and can be mistaken for a tumor or hernia. Abdominal panniculus (the "apron" in layman's terms) can be removed during abdominal panniculectomy, a type of abdominoplasty. A panniculus can also be the result of loose tissues after pregnancy or massive weight loss.[2]
[edit] Grading of abdominal panniculus
Grade 1: Panniculus barely covers the hairline and mons pubis but not the genitalia.
Grade 2: Extends to cover the genitalia.
Grade 3: Extends to cover the upper thigh
Grade 4: Extends to cover the mid thigh.
Grade 5: Extends to cover the knees or beyond.
No offense, I don't know whether to say congrats on the weight loss, or eewwwwww!
Either way, your wit once again has made me laugh!
