Guest guest Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 A fellow CRONie recently* reported the stress on the body of a one-week hospital stay for an appendectomy. Since the CRed body does not have much fat, a loss of 10 pounds " felt uncomfortably close to the Red Line " , which I imagine is when they call the hearse. The recuperation stage included re-populating the gut bacteria killed by the antibiotics and dealing with trauma from the incompetent use of needles for drug administration. The lesson here is that if your BMI is 20 or less, a loss of 10 pounds may take you below the normal BMI range during a one-week hospital stay. A longer stay may send you into the great beyond. By the way, how do we know when a fellow CRONie dies? Unless another member posts about it, we will never know. Tony === * Mon, 28 Nov 2005 Subject: CR and Acute Catabolism crsociety@...
