Being overweight is a serious problem at any age but the older you get the more serious the problem becomes for a few reasons. First the additional weight in anyone put an additional strain on the heart,liver spine, and every other internal organ. Secondly,being more than twenty pounds overweight drastically increases the risk of many other severe health problem, diabetes, a number of cancers, heart attack, stroke, as well as others (there is some evidence that it is a contributing factor to Alzheimer's disease). While I don't know how old your grandmother is I am a little surprised that she is not already seeing a doctor,and if she has seen a doctor at her present weight I am sure that the doctor has already tried telling her that she needs to drop a few pounds.

From the concern expressed in your post I know that you love her and want her around for as long as possible. I Think you should do some reading on this and have a good grasp on the information before approaching her and you might want to print out what you find and show it to her when you do talk to her. I sincerely hope that you get through to her for both her sake and your.

Got stuck to what??? If this isn't a joke.....if she is bleeding then I would say that she needs to be seen. Hemorrhoids do not just happen to heavy people. If she is in severe to moderate pain...she should really see a doctor. HOWEVER, if she is actively bleeding you may want to consider and emergency room.

I would have her call her doctor. There are also nurse lines at a lot of hospitals where you can call and talk to a nurse. They can advise your grandmother what to do until tomorrow when her doctor is in.
