Hi Slim...

I've been there with an older pet too, it's like waiting for your child to come out of surgery -- nothing matters, not food, not bills, no returning phone calls, etc.

Maybe you can select some foods that are very high in calories and fat so that what little you do eat will at least keep your body maintaining somewhat. Keep some Atkins bars with you maybe, they have the nutrients too and aren't too much to eat. When the stress is over for you and you settle back in to a routine, you will be glad you didn't blow it to high heaven, and you'll be able to just pick up where you left off.

Good luck...to Ya Ya too!

Donna
