The last time he was in I knew he'd been fasting o'nite before a test. I, of
course, brought his favorite apple fritters, deep fried & coated in sugar
varnish, about a half pound. And a pint of strong coffee. The subsequent
blood sugar test (I had to show the medic how to do it) was a trifle high -
clear up to 135. When they attempted to give him insulin (he's not a
diabetic) I hit the roof. No more leaving people alone in the hospital.
Hardly ever anyway. I got to shower sometime.
I'm a nervous wreck.
OB food - found a new sort of tortilla wrap at Whole Foods subsidiary, high
protein (13 g per tort!), lower carb (12g?), low fat. Very tasty and pliable
as well:
name of Tofuyan or something similar. Very tasty indeed. We had leftover
chicken simmered with a bit of cumin & chipotle, homemade Spanish rice made
with leftover stuff & pico de gallo, lots of veggies, and some new sprouts.
I didn't tell him the sour cream was tofu sour cream. Not bad. Not the real
deal, but not half as much fat, and not bad at all, at all.
