My progress is very slow and the realization that I can never eat at a restaurant or someone’s home or traveling has me very depressed. There is very little food I like that I can eat.

I miss your stories but you must do what gives you the most comfort, Lynette. I had to stop writing (other than responses) for the past 7 weeks that I’ve been ill. My creativity dissolved with my energy. Sometimes, we have to adjust our activities to what is best for our physical and mental health.

Take care, Lynette. It’s always a pleasure to hear from you.
