...to my ticker? If you are, you may have noticed the drastic fluctuations over the last few days. Here's the explanation:
Last week, on Tuesday, I had to take my mom to the ER. She's okay now, but in the process I caught some sort of bug (there were 3 people in the waiting room who were vomiting). As a result, I lost 7lbs in two days--all of it liquid coming out of places that liquid is not supposed to come out. I wound up in the ER myself getting two bags of IV fluids to rehydrate and some antibiotics for the bug. That put me back up 4lbs--the first time in my life that I think I was relieved to see a gain on the scale!!! But, today I'm back down again. I haven't eaten much in several days and I'm sure that has something to do with it. In fact, yesterday was the first time since Friday that I ate anything--a banana, a cup of kefir and 1/4 baked potato.
I'm feeling much better today, but am a little scared to eat much of anything. I'm thinking oatmeal or cream-of-wheat might do the trick.

I'm glad you're feeling better. Dehydrated weight loss is such a tease, though, isn't it? :)
being sick like that always sucks. glad you are feeling better.
I'm glad you're on the mend!
How scary but I am so glad you went to the ER and didn't try and ride it out at home. I know that ticker will stay "down" now. :)
