She looked great and said she felt back to normal, not even coughing. She reminded me that about 15 years ago I put her on Atkins and she lost 50#. She's maintained at 130# since then and said her good weight is probably the reason she recovered so fast. I was thinking its probably the reason she recovered at all...

That's encouraging. Wonder what she had to eat while in the hospital? Two weeks of hospital food would concern me, but it sounds like she fared well. The best part is she recognized the advantage provided to her by her eating lifestyle. |
