More than just dry skin.
Harriet is worried about her husband George. You don't see George very often but he certainly looks different. Apart from the changes described by Harriet, George has put on a lot of weight (from 97 to 112 kg since his last 'weigh in' 14 months ago). George is in his early 40s and in the past has been an active, quickly moving man despite his size (height 194 cm). Now he seems listless and lethargic.
