At the end of February, I had an emergency appendectomy. I had been feeling ill since before Christmas and suddenly I knew I had to go to the emergency room. Because I had been feeling ill and had stomach pain, it was uncomfortable to eat. I lived off of Ensure, soup, yogurt, and ice cream with just small amounts of proper food for about 2 months. I was ALWAYS hungry. I made this graphic to share with my family and friends.

I lost 19 lbs because of my forced starvation diet.
But I am SO glad I had the twenty lbs to loose!
My beloved Taimi grandma and her friend Phyllis frequently told me in my youth-
"Hold on to your weight in your middle years because you will need it when you are old!"
I know they meant it for the senior years and
I am not quite ;) there yet. But still.
Hold on to your weight in your middle years-
you might NEED it in your middle years!
Truth! So I will be working on regaining that as fast as I can!
Then a couple of weeks after my surgery I had a little complication. But that's a story for another day. I have been 'cleared for duty' now so I am off and running. And EATING oh joy of joys! I just got lazy about blogging but started getting lonesome for it. Actually, the cats are getting tired of me talking to them All. The. Day. Long. so it's better I start talking to the computer.... :)))))
