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 |

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! Kathi |

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-}) George George |

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. Becca |

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. -ginny |

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?

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. George |

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. |

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.

A friend of mine told me about his experience passing a stone - he said he thought he was dying...or giving birth.

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.
