The simple solution eludes them

Oookayyy. A couple different women on the t-bones support list have been talking about pain and how their doctors have told them it's because they're too skinny and have no padding there and only a couple of millimeters of skin between the chair and the coccyx/sacrum/sacral stump (depending on case). It boggles me that "gain some weight" does not seem to occur to them as a solution. I'm sure if the case was the opposite LOTS of people would be telling them to lose weight for their health and would nag them!

Me and my bountiful curves will be over here in the chair, knitting and reading online and recovering from the surgery way faster than a lot of people on the t-bones list!

Believe me, I've TRIED telling women like them exactly that (well, not the sacral thingie, but other women whose health problems would ease with a bit more weight). I might as well be telling them to deliberately pluck their eyes out. *sigh* *eyeroll* (Hmm, would that be a "sighroll"?)
