Being in the hospital for 13 nights in October with Lymes disease was not a fun experience. There is one result, however, about which I am very happy.
I'd been going to Weight Watchers (again) since July and had hit that common plateau with only 5 pounds to reach my goal. (When you reach your goal, you get to go to the meetings for free.)
While in the hospital, when my large intestine stopped working, I had no food or drink for 5 days -- I was on an IV. I lost about 15 pounds. A few of those pounds are back but I am now a couple of pounds UNDER my goal weight!
So, this was one instance where my Lymes turned into limeade.
One problem has arisen from this.......now my clothes are all too baggy. I didn't realize how big this blouse was on me until I saw the photos from Thanksgiving. But, I'm not complaining!!! I know how to sew and will just get busy doing a few alterations.
That's an awful way to drop the weight, but congratulations anyway! I hope you're feeling better and regaining your strength. Miss you both!
