Today has been an interesting day. Because of when my birthday falls, we usually celebrate my half birthday. Today adam remembered and I woke up to breakfast in bed and a new book. Unfortunately, it also serves as an anniversary of sorts. Four years ago tonight two of my children and I got voilently ill with the cryptosporidium parasite. I lost 15 pounds in less than 7 days, and it took six months before I could even think about eating a full meal again. Since then I have redefined how I look at food. After finally seeing a specialist last year I can celebrate the fact that as long as I'm super careful with what I eat I can actually be around other people and go out in public without being totally embarrassed.
On the down side, now I am empowered with the knowledge of exactly which side effects I get from each food. Somehow knowing this has ruined food for me. I drool at what I used to eat and be ok. It drives me crazy.
Happy anniversary to me. Four years down and who knows how long to go...
