mellya1975's Journal, 17 Apr 13

not able to follow the atkins diet for the past month. i became critically ill with norovirus march 11. i developed severe colitis with sepsis and was admitted to the ICU. i am on a low residual/low fiber diet, currently. i actually lost a total of 18 lbs since becoming ill, and i am still having a difficult time eating because of pain associated with eating. the doctors feel that it will take close to 4 months for my digestive tract to heal. not eating my regular diet of protein and veggies is extremely difficult for me, but i am trying to do the best i can. my diet journal is approximately what i am eating, however the amounts are much less (i just don't have the energy to figure out exact amounts of what i am eating). I am an ICU RN, and only 37 yrs old.....being hospitalized for 8 days with sepsis has put things in a very different light for me. i will never, ever, ever, take my health or my digestive tract for granted again! tonite is my first night back to work since becoming ill, and i feel tired, but very glad to be alive and well! my advice....don't sweat the small stuff!!!

I am SO SOrry you have been so sick! That virus is one of the reasons I am reluctant to take another cruise. It seems so common to pick it up on Cruise ships and none of the hand sanitizers seem to work for it. I do agree, don't sweat the small stuff. It is much easier to say than to do tho. Take care.
