Angela was in Children's in Oakland when she had her appendix out. She was
too ill to eat much other than Popsicles. Turned out that it was not her
appendix at all but Peritonitis. Anyway... Nothing like Spaghettios there.
But they did have pizza and chicken nuggets. But they also had tons of
healthy food served in small portions. Cheese cubes, string cheese, baby
carrots, black olives, all sorts of fruit and vegetables including canned
green beans which Angela loved. Instead of ordering meals, you ordered by
the item and it was room service which could be ordered any time between
something like 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
