mmm...pears....

For anyone who cares, here's what I've managed to eat in the last two days:
Thursday:
a pear
part of an apple
a few bites of home made mashed potatoes
a few bites of omelet
lots of water and watered down orange juice
Friday:
a pear
a few bites of home made apple sauce
a few bites of udon noodles (too much flavor)
a few bites of egg noodles (too much fragrance)
a banana
another pear
lots and lots of water and ginger lime juice with fizzy water
I should be very clear: I usually eat like a horse. I've got one of those hummingbird metabolisms and I'm always hungry.
Except now. I still have no appetite at all. How weird is that?
I also have to say that I have finally come to the conclusion that the mattress I bought when Robb came home from the hospital is just too damned hard. Anytime I spend a lot of time in bed, I end up with sore spots from laying on the hard surface of the mattress. I ended up leaving my own bed, and going to lie on our squooshier couch, because my hips were so uncomfortable. I'm a fairly slim woman, but I was actually hurting myself, laying in bed.
I'm not about to buy another mattress, but does anyone have any thoughts on mattress toppers? Do they offer any comfort? Do they make you overheat? Where do you buy them, anyway?

The mattress at my MIL's house is too hard and when we visit for a week at a time, my back screams after 3 days. So last year we went and bought a mattress topper at Macy's (the pricey one) and now it's much better. We have a topper at home that we bought from Cosco 5 years ago that's really nice (like tempurpedic) but I haven't seen one like it since. Good Luck!
"You won't spend your night tossing and turning because you'll feel physically restrained."
if you're inclined to reconsider, check out overstock.com - or they might have other toppers you could try for pretty cheap!
I hope you feel better soon! You can not afford to be losing any weight!!! Are you certain you've completely recovered from the hepatitis? Have you seen anyone? Are you drinking any sort of nutritional supplement to make sure your body has all the tools it needs to help you heal?
A little worried about you, woman...
