What medication were you on that destroyed your appetite? Thanks for the info on gaining weight. I find it easy to drink protein drinks. I have to be careful of eating carbs due to my type 2 diabetes but I may have my husband get some higher calorie protein drinks.

I do worry about my husband because he is 86 years old with Parkinson’s disease. I should be taking care of him, which I used to before Sept. of last year. He is running himself ragged taking care of me and he has worsening insomnia. I feel a bit safer when he is home with me as I am afraid of being alone and freaking out. I miss having a dog to comfort me. We lost our Sheltie Logan 4 years ago. He was 13 years old and the 2nd sheltie we had. Before that, we had a Scottish Terrier and a Border Collie. Neither my husband nor I are in any condition to walk a dog so we just have each other — no children or even relatives where we live. Wishing you well.
