41

I turned 41 on November 9th.

It should have been a great day, I love celebrating my birthday

but alas it was the shittiest birthday because I ended up in the hospital

with what we now believe to have been e.coli.

I was eating a lot of romaine lettuce right when it was recalled and pulled of the shelves!

It might not have been that but the way I was sick was not anything I've ever experienced before!!

I am finally feeling better now but man oh man it was rough...I didn't know what was going on

and I am just so thankful that I am okay now and back to eating.

I actually dropped about 5 pounds in 2 weeks from just not being able to eat.

It's scary to me that lettuce of all things can make us sooo sick,

especially with 10 vegans in our household, we rely on our greens and it's so sad and upsetting to me

that contamination from animal agriculture is making the world so sick in so many different ways.
