STORY TO BE TOLD

A 50-STONE woman is starting an urgent battle to lose weight so she can fit in a brain scan machine.

Terri Smith, 49 — thought to be the fattest woman in the world — is trapped in her bedroom in Cleveland, Ohio, US, unable to move, stand or roll over by herself.

She suffers severe headaches and needs an MRI scan to check for a potential brain tumour but is too big to fit in a scanner or through the doors of a hospital.

She said: "My husband is my guardian angel. He's stuck by me through everything. Most men would have left a long time ago, and who could blame them — but Myron is a living saint."

Terri was always large — at age seven she weighed almost eight stone.

She said: "My nickname at school was fatso. No one wanted me on their sports team and that didn't help the fat.

"We grew up on soul food and no one thought anything about it.

"We never watched what we ate at all and we didn't know what was healthy and what wasn't."

She faces a race against time to lose weight in a bid to qualify for gastric surgery.

Terri, who has been bed-bound for three years, said: "People must think, 'How could you let yourself get like that?'

"It's awful how it creeps up on you. Once you cannot exercise it doesn't matter how healthily you eat, the weight just sticks. You're not burning off a single calorie."

Dr Dariush Saghafi said: "Caring for someone of Terri's size is very difficult. It is very hard to move and transport her.

"Hospitals do not have equipment to hold someone of her girth.

"We thought that it might be possible for Terri to have an MRI at the Cleveland Zoo in the machine used for the elephants and rhinos but the zoo does not have a licence for humans."

Weather to remain bad until Saturday
Reports by STEPHEN THEN, MUGUNTAN VANAR, WINNIE YEOH and SHARIN SHAIK

PETALING JAYA: Heavy rain and strong winds are expected to continue over various parts of the country until Saturday.

The Meteorological Department issued a yellow alert yesterday that there would be intermittent rain across Kelantan as well as Tereng­ganu until tomorrow.

This might result in floods in low-lying areas and along river banks, the department said in a statement.

Strong north-easterly winds of 50 to 60 kph, with waves of up to 4.5m off Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang and Tioman were expected.

The strong winds will be dangerous to all shipping and coastal activities including fishing and ferry services.

Meanwhile, over the waters of east Johor, Labuan, Sarawak and Sabah, there will be strong north-easterly winds of 40 to 50kph, which will cause waves of up to 3.5m.

This situation will continue until Saturday.

There was heavy rainfall in East Malaysia in the last two days as rainfall in Sabah reached up to 38mm in Sandakan on Monday while in Miri, Sarawak, the rainfall for Tuesday was 58mm.

Residents were advised not to engage in recreational sea activities and it would be a hazard for small boats as well.

In Condore, Reef North and Layang Layang Island, strong north-easterly winds over 60kph with waves over 5.5m are expected to continue until Sunday.

According to the report, it will be dangerous to all shipping and coastal activities, including workers on oil rig platforms.

Meanwhile, users of Kltrafficupdate on Twitter complained about heavy traffic build-up in the Klang Valley due to flash floods yesterday.

The affected areas were at Bukit Jalil, the LDP, Jalan Duta and Jalan Semantan.

The public is advised to follow updates on the weather over the department’s website, www.met.gov.my

Jennifer Phạm also reveal that she and Quang Dung agreed to change the name of their son from An Nam to Bao Nam.

When asked how she and Quang Dung share the responsibility of taking care of the child, Jennifer said, “An Nam occasionally surprised me with his gestures, actions that I did not think I would get from a boy of two and a half year old. At waking up in early morning, he just sat watching me sleeping, sometimes touching me on the face very gently. Sometimes he hug and kiss me very dearly. For me, no joy can match the moments like that.”

“Recently I and Quang Dung agreed to change the name of An Nam to Bao Nam. At first, we both liked the name An Nam but many said the name is not good for the child. Quang Dung and I no longer on the sam boat, however, in work and things in life, we remain willing to share with each other. The father always has very deep feelings for his child but in the care of children, women often do better. I always create favorable conditions for Quang Dung to meet Bao Nam. We are not husband and wife anymore but we are still friends.”
