 Todd: So, Barbara, we're talking about your time in the hospital. You were in the hospital for sometime. First of all, how long were you actually in the hospital?


 
Barbara: Well, I was in two hospitals actually. At first, I was in a big hospital for three and a half weeks and I was on a drip 1 for all of that time, and they didn't let me eat anything, and the first couple of days, they also didn't let me drink anything.

Todd: Whoa!
 
Barbara: Yeah.
 
Todd: So you were on a drip… I'm sorry, how long?
 
Barbara: Three and a half weeks.
 
Todd: Whoa! No solid food for three and a half weeks.
 
Barbara: No food for three and a half weeks.
 
Todd: Man!
 
Barbara: Yeah, I was dreaming about my mother's cooking, and I was dreaming about roast chicken and roast lamb and man, the smells and the tastes came back to me, but there was no food.
 
Todd: But after like, say two weeks or something, does your body just get used to not having food?
 
Barbara: Yeah. Yes, it does. Definitely 3. And I lost a lot of weight, but actually I felt fine. Friends who came to visit me in the hospital were surprised and they were like, “Wow! Where's the rest of you?”
 
Todd: You did lose a lot of weight. Actually, how much weight did you lose?
 
Barbara: I lost, well, I started losing weight because I was changing my diet just before I got ill. In the last eighteen months, I've lost twenty kilos.
 
Todd: Whoa! That's a lot.
 
Barbara: That is, indeed, yeah.
 
Todd: Twenty kilos… Wow! Well, you look great. You must feel great.
 
Barbara: I feel much better. Actually I think sick with that was probably a good thing. It made me take stock 4 and reevaluate things and get healthy.
