Default Hospital Food (a DH Update)

Gentle Friends:
Ol'Whiskerface had his surgery this morning, they feel they got all the
cancer. He's sassy & mean as usual before I left. Doc had the gall to order
a clear diet this evening, even after our nurse-who-knew-us urged normal
diet. Bob wanted a meatlovers' pizza. Or Philly steak & cheese sub, no
onions. Or roast turkey & things. Or meatloaf & stuff. He got powdered
yellow salt broth and green jello. And Water. I got his pallid tea, being
thirsty for hot, er warm. Then I remembered the high protein, low fat bars I
carry everywhere. He ate about 600 calories' worth. Strawberry/yogurt and
s'mores flavors. That hit the spot for now. It's nice having friends on the
ward who will turn the other way whilst discussing chardonnays and prime
beef.
I'm to report for rounds tomorrow early and let docs know just how spoiled
he is for real food.
Many thanks for the good wishes & prayers.
Love,
Edrena

Happy to hear that he is sassy. I didn't realize that the green Jell-O diet
was still in existence ;o[

Really...what is it about hospitals and their food? You'd think they'd know
that a body needs good nutrition to heal itself. What part of all that salt
and sugar is gonna do that ?

Glad to hear Ol'Whiskerface is on the mend, keep sneakin' in the good stuff!

I used to think the same thing and our local publicly owned hospital
served stewed cardboard and green jello all the time. My last stay there
they had hired a new dietician and the food was great. I specified a low
sodium, no sugar diet and they set me up well. Three very good meals a
day with a mid-morning fruit snack and a mid-afternoon sugar free
pudding or red jello snack and then another about 9 pm. All the food was
brought to me hot, presentation was good, everything was spotless and
the staff were easy to get along with. I nearly died from the shock of
it all as my last visit there was anything but nice. Found out they had
a new hospital administrator too so that might explain it. I don't want
to go back to find out if it's still serving good food. My wife did
bring me a cup of live culture yoghurt every day as I was on a heavy
course of antibiotics at the time. I certainly hope Sir Whiskers Jones
is getting better food by now. Edrena is probably bringing him pickled
beets and pickled okra to snack on. B-})

Thanks for the update, Edrena.

May he heal quickly, and all of this become a dim memory that you can
reminisce about many, many years form now.

You can not hide from Jell-O no matter where you go. I was served Jell-O
in hospitals in Germany, Brazil and Mexico. In Germany and Mexico, the
food was similar to American hospitals. In Brazil, I was served
chamomile tea and they feel coconut water has some sort of healing
properties. Brazil is known for their coffee, you would think they
would serve that.

Oh, Edrina, tell Fuzzy to get better! I know how taxing this is on both of
you. He is dying to eat real food and you feel like you should be 'doing'
something by fixing him something good to eat. What with the hospitals
doing a turnaround, in one day out the next, he should be home soon so you
can cater to him like you want. I'd suggest a good old pot of Jewish
Penicillin, none of that hot water they let a chicken wash his feet in they
serve in hospitals as the 'light' diet....

Smuggle some of those B&B pickles from Barb's recipe in, plop them on the
nurses' station and you can feed him anything you want (VBG)....In all
seriousness, do tell him to get better or I'll send my daughter down to
teach you the fine art of beard corn-rowing.....When my husband went in for
his kidney stones for the umpteenth time, eldest daughter threatened to
corn-row his beard (he looks like a cross between those GEICO cavemen and
Rupert from Survivor) when he was asleep unless he got over himself and got
better. Now that was motivation.

Hope all is well and YOU get some rest. Him they can medicate to make him
sleep, you will sit up and worry.

Fat as a hog and fit to butcher. Gained nearly 35 lbs since I got out of
the hospital on March 27th. Now I need to lose it back. Currently
getting new eyes, cataract surgery little over a week ago on right eye
and this Friday on left eye. Good news is I won't need glasses except to
read now. Doc says he is correcting my mild astigmatism too. Next is
laser surgery to open new drainage canals in my eyes so I won't have to
put drops for glaucoma in my eyes three times a day. Now if they could
figure out what to do about the worn out knees, ankles, etc. I would be
a new man.

Bought a hundred pounds of shrimp off a boat yesterday and spent some
time packaging and vac sealing for freezing in 2 lb lots. Kids will come
over from Houston area soon to pick up some for each family as Miz Anne
and I would have to eat shrimp three meals a day to eat up 100 lbs.

How are things amongst the Glaswegian's?

I didn't know your could speak Yorkie! Used to work in Saudi with a
Yorkshireman, had difficulty with his dialect on occasion but not as
much as with the Geordie dialect. Glaswegian Scots is much closer to
standard English than either of those two. You will enjoy the move
though, beautiful countryside.

I'm glad he's doing well enough to gripe about the (lack of solid) food!
You will both continue to be in my thoughts. And I hope he gets to eat real
food very soon.

Yes it is. Have a wee look at Ripon in North Yorkshire )

I have been up here living and working for 25 years, but it is time now to
go home.

When I am back down I will sent you some photos

They tell me kidney stones are painful. Is there anything he can do to
stop the kidney stones from forming? Any vitamins? Diet? I hear you
should avoid oxalates.

Lots of water. Vitamins are not supposed to be good because they
leave the sort of sediments that cause the stones. There is a hereditary
component--I saw my teenaged niece in agony from a stone, before she
was diagnoses, I held her on my lap on the emergency room floor
because it hurt too much for her to sit up in the chair. Her father also
had stones. She was odd--would order fast food and NO soda,
regularly. I know improper hydration was part of her problem.

Only if oxalates are the problem. There are five types of stones and
unless you collect a stone for lab identification you can't know what
the possible solution is?

He's been sifted and chipped at so they know what type of stones he makes.
Told him to back off the iced tea as the chemical found in tea is also in
his stones. They are heriditary as FBS has them as well.......we've just
decided to change his name (a la Flintstone-style) to Joe Quarry....that and
the fuzz on his face, sorta fits. He averages at least one big stone every
two years. Largest blocked his left kidney, and it was huge, I want to say
7 cm, and had to be laser chipped out piece by piece. You can tell when he
is trying to deal with another one......PMS symptoms and all, but in his
case it's Passin' My Stone..

Oh, that's awful!! A friend of mine told me about his experience passing a
stone - he said he thought he was dying...or giving birth. As I can relate
to the giving birth part, and have had gall stones myself, I can sore of
understand it. But for a guy? That's terrible that he has to deal with it
every 2 years! Yikes!!

Default Hospital Food (a DH Update)

When my husband had kidney stones, they made him give up his diet mountain
dew and tea. He told the kids the pain was like trying to pass razor blades
through a part of your body that wasn't supposed to pass more than water.
