Jeannie phoned last night. Her new anti-anxiety/depression drug was causing problems. She was unable to eat. She is skinny. She is not just skinny but really skinny with not an ounce of extra pounds on her, though I have offered to give her some of mine! People in the rehab class who kept losing weight from lack of appetite ended up dying because their body just couldn't sustain itself. It is especially an issue with older people.
I am worried. It's the first time since we have been making our way together to the rehab class this past almost 1-1/2 years that I am concerned that she may not recover from this downturn. She is one strong person and we talked about not giving up, both of which gives me hope.
Since she is not going to the rehab class today, I have decided to stay on the coast, buy some groceries to get us through the weekend and try to recover from Sunday's excursion to meet the baby and mom's doctor appointment yesterday.
A day off.
