I found out it is turkey pastrami. Probably won't be very good. I tend to
avoid stuff made of turkey that is pretending to be other meats, but she was
so excited about it that I bought it. She has come off of a week of eating
little more than chicken broth with chicken and rice, due to a sore throat
that the Dr. said was probably a virus.

And then yesterday she was in the hospital with more urinary problems. It's
worse this time and the PA doesn't believe the diagnosis of impacted feces
causing the problem. So she has to see a specialist. She is stressing out
over that so right now I will just buy her whatever she wants.
