It's taken me an entire month to lose 1 pound. Yeah, yeah, I know it's better than putting on a pound, but I did that too. Up and down, up and down. At this rate, I'm not sure I can live long enough to get back to normal for me. My husband just got out of the hospital. At the best hospital in California UCLA after 3 days in Emergency, they couldn't figure out what was (and still is) causing his oxygen saturation to go so low. I stayed with him, but couldn't sleep sitting on that hard little chair. He is now on oxygen 24 hours a day but it still keeps dipping. This is a whole new ballgame. He talks about moving downstairs and putting a twin bed in the living room. He doesn't want a hospital bed, so maybe we will buy a used twin. My girlfriend asked if I would still want to sleep upstairs and be that far from him with his breathing problems. Wow, I guess not. So it seems I may be sleeping on the couch.
We were in "Emergency" so long because UCLA is so busy. Emergency was entirely full with 105 people plus the ones not checked in yet plus Urgent Care upstairs. There were 32 people waiting for a room. They called my husband's problem an Emphysema Flair. His ankles were not swollen, so he had just taken 1 diuretic. This just crept up on us but has not been resolved with even taking 2 diuretics a day now. He had taken a 14-day course of antibiotics 3 weeks ago for his H-Pylori infection in his stomach. During that 14 days, he had ocular migraines for a week and a half. Those antibiotics are brutal and they didn't even work.
This is day 39 for me not eating any sweets or desserts or wine. Plus it is day 3 with no bread, although I'm not sure I can keep that long term. Maybe I will allow it once in a while. I need to do more to lose some weight. Ninety percent of my clothes are for a different "person", a smaller person. Since my bones are so thin and I have so little muscle, I look 20 lbs heavier than the scale says.

I also have my husband very ill. I couldn’t loss weight I would go up a lb. and then go down. It is a lot of stress and I would cry outside or in my shower. I prayed to God to give me strength and hope. I started to write what I was eating so I could see in person. Wrote down my calories and carbs and protein. I done this for a whole month. After I seen and started to adjust what I could see I was eating comfort food and not healthy food I have now lost 14 lbs. easy no I wanted to give up when I seen it took me 2 weeks to see I lost 6 oz. I pray you don’t give up and lean on God for help🙏🌹🌹🌹

Cheese and rice! I just read your bio and... you're 80?! The idea of being so old is unfathomable to me! You're older than one of my grandmas! Meanwhile, I'm only 18!
Well, sorry if this sounds morbid, but, even if your husband doesn't survive, at least you got to spend many years together, till death do you part, and he lived a nice, long life with his true love. I do hope that your daughter still has a chance to survive though.
Also, sorry if this sounds rude, but is 118 lbs a lot for an old person? I'm asking because old people tend to be shorter and you were born before processed food became widespread. I don't think I've weighed that little since elementary school, and, for my height, it would actually be underweight. I currently weigh over 200 lbs, making me obese, so, again, weighing so little is unfathomable to me, but, whereas I may make it to the age of 80 someday, I doubt I'll ever weigh so little throughout my entire lifetime.

Well darn! One more thing for you to worry about concerning your husband's health. You must take care of yourself before you can take care of him. You need your rest as well. Get a baby monitor to keep beside your husband downstairs while you sleep in your own bed. You will hear him if he needs you.

Was just coming to check on you. Sorry to hear your husband has been battling so much lately. I know it's not easy on you either. Lifting you both up in prayer.
