I have a "short" story to share...I went to a new doctor's office and they weighed me, took my blood pressure and measured my height...the young man said i was 4 ft. 9 and 1/2. I said you did this wrong...again he measured and came up with the same.
When I saw the doctor she took my blood pressure again...it was 20 points higher and she was confused as to why this was happening. I said I can explain...when I walked in your door I was 5 feet tall, now I am 4 ft. 9 and 1/2 so I am trying to figure out how I got so short so fast and this is a little upsetting. She just looked at me...the rest did not go any better...I changed doctors and never went back to that office. And I am still 5 feet tall.

5'2"--I've always loved being short! And for most of my life, I've been petite. I've gained some weight over the last year (due to having to take prednisone for my lupus... :( ). I'm hoping to regain my "petite" status when I go off the steroids--which I hope is soon...
