I think the most proper thing to do would be to strip down nekkid, request a urinal/bedpan/trashcan. Perform the necessary ablutions at the last moment, including a very loud noseblowing.
Then step on the scale *ss backwards and tell the nurse- if you EVER tell me what my number is, I won't ask for the urinal/bedpan/trashcan the next time. deal?
Oh, and how about the nurse who weighed me when I was 16 and a year later when I was 17 and noted that I had lost ten pounds and loudly congratulated me on that. Yeah. that was really sensitive, because you know how much a 17-year-old loves to be reminded that she was pudgy last year, and then get positive reinforcement for dieting. Geez, I wasn't even overweight! I'm five-freakin'-ten for God's sake.

Cora, I'm feelin' the vibes, sistah. I nearly ran home, and then I drank 3 beers to mellow out, and now I'm still hyper. happy hyper. don't worry. Subclinical hypomania. I think it's a saturday night thing. :)
