Ditto for me on this one. If I'm gonna eat, I'll drag myself out to
the dining room or living room.

When my mom had heart surgery (repair of an aortal defect, day of the
big quake of the 80's, 10/17/89), she was sitting up in a chair eating
clear broth when I visited her the next day. No bed meals for her!
Talk about one tough broad.... :-)

I confess I've never spent time in a hospital, but that's gonna change
next month when I have surgery. I'll have to forego Zabar's (I'm
amazed Marcel could get through the lines in time enough to feed
you!), but I will certainly have my legions covertly bring me decent
food :-) I'm also gonna pull a Christine and stock the freezer with
my good homemade foodies. When I broke my foot a coupla three years
ago, I survived on nuked frozen burritos and nuked veggies. And
canned soup. That ain't gonna happen again if I can help it.
