Well, you were sick! That sounds horrendous! But you are the 1st person who understands how weird it us when our bodies won’t eat. I still wonder if I will ever have an appetite, again. I eat 3 things daily, every day and fear I will lose my appetite for them but my Nutritionist assures me that I will get it back. I believe her only because everything else she has promised has come true. I never believed I’d eat 800 calories a day. Now I eat 1500!

Thanks for recommending the books! I will read both. The first hear I was in bed I kept ordering books on Amazon as per usual, sure I’d read again, any day. I have shelves if unread books but two more: I will enjoy buying them!

Our pets are wonderful! My two dogs jeot me going. On the worst days, I’d still have to tend them, at least until my husband got home. Sully, my dog that died had severe dementia his last year. I don’t know how I cared for him but I know now I kept going to care for him. Abby is 6. His death was hard on her. She was horribly abused by her 1st owner who kicked her, broke her hip, ankle, leg and left her broken for 3 months. A lady drove by daily. The 1st time that man was gone, she stole Abby and got a Vet to repair her, then into Russell Rescue. I used to foster for them so they give us the abused ones. Except for our new boy who was loved and loves eveyone and every dog.

She has fear aggression, canine PTSD. Sully was so good with her, calmed her. We got another dog around Halloween as our hearts finally healed. He was supposed to be 3. He was 15 months. So this crazy puppy helps nudge me to walk. Now I weigh enough that I can walk without losing muscle. Abby has regressed some with the arrival of Kozmo but she plays with him and he is goofy in love with her.

I don’t feel any less horrified for you because I have a longer lasting illness. I’m happy that your mailman worried about you. I hope you never get that sick, again! Losing weight that quickly takes all our energy. I am amazed at the way we are made, how we can bounce back after the worst.

Here to us both, and health!
